I can fit lots of cones!

I don't remember where I was recently but I remember seeing just a bunch of cones and thinking how easy it would be to take them.

Ya but that would be wrong.... Lol. I talked to one of the BMW guys last time I was at mineral wells and they had just gotten all of those new cones. I wanna say he told me they were like $7 per cone.

Here is a site for cones:

That's cheaper than I thought they were going to be but still for the 18" cones we are looking at around $3000 just for the cones that we would need. That is a rough estimate for 500 cones, which I honestly don't know if that will be enough. I was thinking we would need to start with around 700 cones but I'm also no expert lol

That's $ 485.00 for 100 12" cones and $ 570.00 for 100 of the 18"cones for a grad total of $ 1055.00 without tax or shipping !

I'm not sure how many you'd need to have a safe amount of surplus.....maybe like 300-500 ???

I now have a canopy so we are set for the event as far as some shade goes.

I bought it at Academy sports on sell for 50 bucks. reg 100. Its a Quick Shade weekend model 10x10. Pretty happy with the quality, The frame and legs are much better than some I have seen, I think Ill be happy with it.

nice! I had just seen one at walmart last night for $50 that I almost jumped on but I was afraid of the quality being walmart's ozark trail brand and it was only a 9X9

Yep... still here, and still plan on doin this as much as I can

I can grab them anytime too. Just sayin since I'm practically a stones throw from you. PM me if you want.

You guys sure get busy on here sometimes! Man, I don't look for 2 days and all sorts of stuff goes off. I've been a bit extra busy with work after being gone so much but trying to keep up!

As for doing our own chapter or whatnot, sounds super cool for sure but dropping $40/month or so to go run with whoever is hella cheaper and less work. Just sayin... but don't let that stop anyone! I've kinda thought about that myself but the reality is the commitment (for me) is probably too much. I've got kids that'll be getting into sports and other stuff and my weekends are not just my own most of the time.

I can't wait for this event! It feels like it's been awhile.

If I don't get this work stuff figured out soon, I wont be able to commit to much either. It took another nose dive today. I'm so sick of this ****. I'm just gonna go out of town for a few days to clear my mind. I've been ready to leave for two hours now but my room mates car is blocking me in. As soon as he gets home, I'm out.
