Stop by and put together our puzzle, then spend some time coloring in one blank piece to match its neighboring edges. Each visitor or small group will get to assemble the puzzle, receiving a different blank piece to complete. On Sunday afternoon at 4:20(?) we’ll put together all the hand-painted pieces and see what magical image we’ve created together! Open to all ages, but may be more satisfying for those with decent fine motor control, as pieces will be about 4-6 inches square. Only 24 pieces (or 48 – we haven’t decided!) will be available to paint, so don’t delay your visit!

The name says it all. Stop by for a flogging or spanking or whatnot. Who knows, maybe you will get lucky… Only available at consistent times throughout the weekend, Look for the pavilion side walls to be up or stop by the “Poly Haven” for assistance.

Are you missing your kitties here on the Playa? Simulation cats are back at Camp Tasty! Stop by anytime and snuggle with our faux kitties for some real allergy-free & fluff-free fun.

Remember the cantankerous duo Statler and Waldorf from “The Muppet Show,” who would constantly complain and heckle the audience and stage acts because they had nothing else to do? This is just like that; only we’ll be aggressively complimenting and spreading laughter and delight.

Need something soft to hug? Come see our assortment of plushies who are looking for a good home.

Hugs, snuggles, cuddles, etc.

The table will be in place all weekend, so whether you forgot to pack your sunscreen, maybe you’re starting to feel crispy and your camp is too far, or maybe you just like the sweet smell of sunblock in the morning; please stop by, help yourselves, and stay safe!

I made a set of cornhole boards to play during the burn but there’s a problem. They’re naked as a fire spinner at the effigy. (OK THAT’S not a problem but…) They need your help. Come grab a pain pen and tag it with your burner name. Draw a mural. Graffiti it up. Just make it not so bland.
This set will be GIFTED to one of you at the end of the burn. If you would like to bring it home with you, or arrange to pick it up, leave your info on the sheet at the event.
