An Irish food drive @ the Holiday Market!

Perhaps you had the absolute pleasure of meeting Mr. Irish McKinney last year at our First Annual Holiday Market. Irish was easily wrangled into the role of “Biker Santa” for last year's photo booth and fundraiser for the White Center Food Bank. This is an organization that Irish has raised thousands of dollars for through his event, Chicken Friday Christmas (http://whitecenterfoodbank.org/in-memory-of-irish-mckinney/). This past August Irish had a fatal blow out on his beloved Harley.  Irish left behind hundreds of friends, family and his beloved wife, Marjorie, but not without first branding us with a desire to BE GOOD.  He will not be forgotten.

In his honor and to carry on a great tradition, we will be collecting food for the White Center Food Bank and running a donation cocoa station to raise money for the organization, as well. Let’s make Irish proud and fill up many bins.  For each item donated you will receive a raffle ticket for prizes from the organizing businesses.

NNN will have a info booth at the Trailer park all day( trailer park opens at noon) 

There will be Viking Games, Epic DJing via DJ QWEEN B
and dance party along with suprise Entertainment TBA, and its all to Benefit the Special Olympics of Washington!

a loose schedule is as follows:
7pm- General shenanigans, ridiculous coustumes, Viking Games.
8pm- Entertainment TBA ohhhhh, its so good!
9pm to whenever the heck we want: DANCE PARTY WITH THE HORDE!

Heres a little bit about the HORDE....
The Nearly Nekkid Norwegians (NNN) were created 3 years ago when a group of like-minded miscreants came together to thrust themselves into the frigid winter waters of the Puget sound dressed in historically inaccurate Viking costumes. Why would anyone want to do this? To benefit the 14,500 athletes that participate in the special Olympics of Washington (SOWA) yearly.

What do the two things have to do with each other? SOWA holds a polar plunge event every year to raise money to support the special Olympic Games in Washington. It takes 650 dollars for one athlete to participate in SOWA every year. Our goal is to support as many of those athletes as possible. The first year 2014 we had 25 members, and raised 11,200 dollars supporting 17 athletes making us the 2nd highest earing team that year. 

Not to be outdone, after our plunge in 2014 our team captain promised to double the money we raised the following year. True to our Viking fortitude we had 50 members and raised 25,700 shattering the existing state record of 16 thousand dollars, and supporting just under 40 SOWA athletes for the year. 

This year with your help we can continue delivering Viking long ship loads of cash to SOWA to support these incredible athletes.
