	This is a red wagon. Many of you probably had one growing up as a child. It was a nice first vehicle-it required no high priced gas, no ensuing road rage, and no complicated test to earn the right to drive it.

The game is called Trick My Wagon. Each bunk group was given a red wagon the night before. They had 24 hours to "trick" it out. They could do whatever they wanted-paint it, put things in it, on it, under it, and, if they could manage it, through it. But there were some specific categories by which the wagons were judged. Besides creativity and overall design, up to five points could be earned if each of the following items were placed on:: License/Registration/Insurance, cup holder, glove compartment, flag, license plate, rearview mirror, spare tire, or seat cushion.
	Groups began to file into the gym with their completed wagons and took a seat in front of the stage.
Andy and Melissa explained what would happen: each group would bring their wagon up to the stage. One person from the group would explain the meaning behind the wagon, and show all the things that could receive bonus point, and the judges would judge the wagon based on each ones concordance with the guidelines.
	With some help, each group brought up their wagons.
And one representative spoke about the wagon.
	Many groups met many of the requirements.


The Sassy Tinks made a mobile lemonade stand, with many commodities behind the storefront.
	They even poured lemonade for the judges.
And two representatives stood in the back with a sign that read "When Life Gives You Lemons, Make a Wagon".
	It was a stand to rival Lucy's Psychiatric Advice.
Before the verdict was announced, Andy had all the campers close their eyes...
	...and imagine the trophy, made by Staff Assistants, that they would receive (and promptly give back so Campus Kids can store it over the winter). Once the judges were finished counting up the scores, the winner was announced.
Not surprisingly, The Sassy Tinks' sour beverages won them a sweet victory.
