Sunday night Sept 27th Self serve bonfire
Good evening, all you beautiful NOPEsters! Welcome to the Bonfire!🔥
Today is "National Crush a Can Day" a little different, but brings back memories of the days before recycling and crushing a can with your sneaker and trying to walk with it. Both Wayne and I can remember doing this with the neighborhood kids and seeing who could walk/run the fastest/furthest without loosing the can.
Whether you have 1, 2, 20, 200, 20,000 or 200,000 or more unsmoked cigarettes, bring them here to make this fire blaze high.
You can also throw any worries or problems into the fire too. That was part of our very own Q-Angel, Mary (tillietoiler) Merrey’s wish when she started the bonfire. We carry it on in her memory. Please read about the history of the bonfire HERE >>> http://purplkoala.coolpage.biz/tillietoiler/bonfire_history.html
🌴 While you’re here, feel free to wander around NOPE Island. There is an amazing buffet and tasty drinks of all kinds at the Tiki Bar and you’ll probably find other NOPEsters there to chat with throughout the evening. For a quieter evening, head on down to the beach, grab a lounge chair, and watch the dolphins.
🔥 Newbies and everyone else, shout out your anniversaries and any milestones you’re celebrating. We love to celebrate those important days. And remember, it's because of each of you that we are here!
Methods of hauling your unsmoked cigarettes: 001-500.............tall kitchen trash bags; 501 to 999..............black yard size trash bags; 1,000 to 9,999.............wheel barrows; 10,000 to 49,999............brand new dump truck in your choice of colors; 50,000 to 99,999..................a train; 100,000 to 249,999...................a barge; more?.....get creative!
Now if you’re ready, let’s get this fire started with the only lighter allowed on NOPE Island, the golden lighter brought to the original bonfires by Mary Merrey/tillietoiler herself.
Thanks for helping us keep this tradition alive here on NOPE Island! And remember Tillie’s one request is to KEEP IT CLEAN!!
Thanks!
Mary and Wayne , Grateful BBB 🙂
