Stack Up! after school at Village on Thursday, Nov. 12

Join us to set a new world record in stacking. The annual STACK UP! happens this Thursday all around the world and we want to invite you to come help set a new record this year.

If you're in the Portland, Beaverton area, join us at Village Baptist Church on Nov. 12 from 3:30-6:00 pm at the Willamette-A Meeting Room on the lower level of the new worship center. Village's address is  330 SW Murray Blvd., Beaverton, OR 97005.

You don't have to bring any equipment. We'll have regular stacks, Battlestacks, mini-stacks, Super Stacks, Jumbo Stacks, and Pro Series cups for you to try out.

Here's the official reminder from the WSSA on this event:

Guinness World Records Day, November 12th This is the week! Let the 2009 WSSA STACK UP! begin...

Thursday is the day, and we're glad you're on board to crack a new Guinness World Record for "Most People Sport Stacking at Multiple Locations in One Day." You will be joining participants from all over the world in this united stacking effort. As of this writing, we have more than 1,500 schools/organizations registered with nearly 270,000 projected stackers from 26 countries. We need everyone to participate to beat last year's record of 222,560 and exceed our goal of a quarter million stackers. Have a terrific STACK UP! and stay tuned to the WSSA home page for updated tallies on the STACK UP! counter.

Oregon State Championships Early Registration Extended

Registrations for 2009 Oregon State Sport Stacking Championships have been coming in this past weekend. And so far, we have registrants from Oregon, Washington, California and CANADA.

It's not too late yet to register. The early registration has been extended till Friday, Nov. 13.

You can register by downloading the forms from the WSSA website, from Village's website, or registering online at active.com.

Oregon State 2009 Championships logo

Some of you who have picked up the 2009 Oregon State Sport Stacking Championships registration forms have mentioned that the logo on the form is the old one from last year. I apologize for using the old logo, but I did not have the logo for this year's competition at the time.

But here it is, the new logo for this year's competition. What do you think?

I will be updating the registration forms with the new logo and will post new versions of the registration forms later this week.

Stacking at Village on Saturday (10/17)

Join us to stack and practice together at Village Baptist Church this Saturday from 10 am to 12:30 pm. We'll be in the Fellowship Hall (Room 112-113).

We'll have a few Pro Series cups to try out to see if they live up to their reputation. We'll also practice some relays and introduce doubles to kids who have not tried it yet. Most importantly, we get to prep for the Oregon State Sport Stacking Championships coming up next month.

Village is located at 330 SW Murray Blvd, Beaverton, OR 97005. If coming from Portland, take Highway 26 going west into Beaverton, and take the Murray Blvd. exit and turn left. Village is less than half a mile down Murray on the left side.

Stacking on Time Warp (i.e., Rachael Nedrow on Discovery Channel)

If you missed Rachael Nedrow on Discovery Channel's Time Warp last night, here are some screenshots from the program, where Rachael is challenged to stack THIMBLES. The thimbles proved to be quite a challenge for Oregon's top stacker.

Pro Series are here; Stacking at Rock Creek & Nancy Ryles

Pro Series are here in Beaverton. The order came in yesterday and I will be checking it out this weekend to see if I set new personal records.

If you're a child studying at or a parent with a child at Rock Creek Elementary in Beaverton, you might want to check out what the fourth graders are doing in P.E. this month. They're learning to stack the Cycle and will have an opportunity to test themselves against the clock early next month. Kudos to Lori Meeks, P.E. Instructor at Rock Creek for scheduling this.

And over at Nancy Ryles Elementary in south Beaverton (where my son attends), stacking will be coming up at some point this fall. Nancy Ryles Elementary has signed up for a loaner sport pack from Speed Stacks and will be able to use it for five weeks, complimentary of Speed Stacks.

If you know of a school in the greater Portland area who is interested in stacking, drop me a note and we'll see what we can do to help them.
