Popcorn Sale: Unit Leader News Top Performers in the 2007 Popcorn Sale Click on the following links to see who the top sellers were in the Fall 2007 popcorn sale and to see where you or your unit ranked across the council.
Popcorn Recognition Event Gulf Ridge Council hosted a special recognition event for our top popcorn sellers on Saturday, February 23. Each of the Scouts who sold at least $1,000 worth of popcorn (list is linked above) was invited for an evening of fun, food, fellowship, recognition and magic! In the end, 30 of our Scouts and their parents were there to attend that night and share in some pizza, chips, soda and celebration cake. They participated in drawings for door prizes (including a television set, 2-way radios, marshmallow blasters--even some ArrowCopters!). There was special recognition for the Scouts who really went above and beyond by exceeding the $2,000 mark and three Scouts who even exceeded $4,000! This was followed by a special presentation on behalf of the NBA's Orlando Magic--a replica jersey for each of our $1,000+ sellers! The evening concluded with a performance by Paul Weatherby, a professional magician who seemingly produced birds out of thin air, pulled a rabbit out of a hat--even levitated one of our Scouts (below, right) as he remove the legs of the table he was on one by one by one until there were none left! Amazing. . .
Many thanks and congratulations to these Scouts for their outstanding efforts as part of the annual Boy Scout popcorn sale.
