I've been trying to fax our numbers in all morning but have not been able to get through. I talked to Lynn at Speed Stacks and she confirmed that the fax machine has been busy since yesterday, with the faxes coming in from not just the United States, but all over the world. It may be middle of next week before all the numbers are verified and we get a final count.
Yesterday was a full day of stacking in Beaverton. Started out with "Stack Masters" at Rock Creek Elementary as fourth graders got a taste of what it would be like to stack in competition. Everyone went up to the stacking table and stacked in front of a judge. Fumbles that went uncorrected would result in a scratch. But the kids all did a great job. Overall fastest stacker was nine-year-old Mark Huynh with combined time of 27.51 seconds (3-3-3 stack, 4.46 seconds; 3-6-3 stack, 5.72 seconds; and cycle stack 17.33 seconds).
"Stack Masters" Part 2 will take place on Monday, Nov. 18, when the other two fourth grade classes take their turns.
Then we had after school STACK UP! at Village Baptist. We had a modest turnout but one of the highlights was when Oregon's fastest stacker Rachael Nedrow joined us. She got to stack Jumbo Stacks, and also had to figure out a puzzle of how to stack a single tower of Jumbo Stacks all the way to the ceiling without the use of any helps (ladders, chairs, etc.). Credit for that brain buster goes to the Kidologist and fellow stacker Karl Bastian.
Afterwards, my daughter Anne took charge and brought the stacks to the AWANA at Southwest Hills Baptist, where she led them in "Builders and Blasters" and other stacking games. Wow! Anne is coming into her own as a leader. She could be the next sport stack ambassador.
