Cookie Baking Marathon
This is a team event consisting of the chief baker and 2 assistants, one of which is young and inexperienced. When the gun goes off, the team has four hours to create as many freshly baked, special occasion cookies as possible using a standard (non-convection) oven. Ingredients must come from what is already in the cupboards; a ten minute trip to the store will be allowed but all team members must go. No more than a double batch is allowed for any one cookie variety. Clean-up is expected to be an on-going part of the competition as participants are limited to the amount of cooking implements found in the average home. Good sportsmanship and team attitude medals will also be awarded.
Instant disqualification will occur if bar cookies, sliced (from a roll) cookies, or puny cookies are presented. Style points will be deducted for standard cookies such as chocolate chip, oatmeal, or peanut butter. (Remember, these are supposed to be special occasion cookies.)
Judging will be based on presentation, variety, greatest variation of ingredients, ingenuity, cookie appearance, and taste. Bonus points will be added for teams that include results of candy making/molding/dipping in the ensemble of goodies.
Location: Finally made it to Florida and lovin' every minute!

Children's Party Planning
This will be a four day event. On each day, participants will showcase their ingenuity for decorations, table layout, food, music, and activities for a variety of children's parties. One day will emphasize parties geared towards boys, another one to girls, one to a mixed audience, and one tea party. At least one party will be a birthday party, and one party must be an indoor party.
Each contender will work within a budget, and judging will be based on fun, variety, organization, food selection and presentation, and adherence to a theme.

I'd definitely be a contender in the Emergency Clean-up event and Procrastination Relay. I'd also be a shoo-in for any kind of book buying competition.
I'll volunteer my yard for the Dirt Moving Relay, and my dogs are always up to provide hair for the Dog Hair Tumbleweed Jumping.
I definitely agree that Karla deserves the gold for a marathon thread idea. Pocono would certainly be a contender for the best use of smilies. And I can think of several participants for a Photoshopping competition.
Ok Mike, so your Olympic Event can be the Beer Chuggin' Football (and cheerleader) Watchin All Day Relay.
LOL.. and you forgot the high-powered rifle match, shooting 5-gallon plastic jugs full of water from 50 yards, just to watch the spectacular explosion!
