Anglicon XVI Pie Toss

    If you were to visit the Registration Desk at Anglicon XVI you might have noticed four large plastic jars of various sizes and shapes.  Each of these had a name printed on them; Art (Chairman), Gene (Vice Chairman), Dick (Treasurer), and Ryan (Video).  Each of these volunteers agreed to take a pie in the face if their jar had the most money donated to it at the end of the convention.

    It was a close run.  Art started with a good lead which was partially subsidized by the character running the Registration Desk but quickly fell behind as Gene and Dick ran neck and neck for most of the duration.  When the jars were taken down and the numbers tallied, Dick was ultimately pronounced the winner and would be taking a pie during Closing Ceremonies Sunday afternoon.

    It was decided by the Committee that the volunteer with the most hours would be given the honor of tossing the pie and Adam won the honor with flying colors.  As it turned out he was also a natural with the pie and knew exactly what needed to be done to get the most out of it...
