The Portland PartyWorks Annual Hunt For New Fun Is Underway
Our 3 weary travelers have begun their annual New Event Exhibition. Travelling over mountains and plains, across the great Mississippi and passing the Gulf until they finally arrived in the relentless heat of Florida on Monday. Although hungry and tired, our 3 selfless troopers are determined to tough it out for the greater good. Mike, Kristina, and Roy are stuck the entire week in Tornado Alley searching for 2013's crop of interactive fun.

1 Wack-A-Mole
Once the game starts, the moles will begin to pop up from their holes at random. The object of the game is to force the individual moles back into their holes by hitting them directly on the head with the mallet, thereby adding to the player's score. The quicker this is done the higher the final score will be.
2) Beat The Bucket:
Allows a player the opportunity to control their fate; provided they have the reaction time and skill to do so. A single player stands behind the station and with the aid of a blocking arm, can defend the two targets from being hit. A second player throws water-logged balls (or Juggle Balls, Tennis Balls, Nerf Balls) while trying to hit the 2 targets. If the player using the blocker can act quickly enough, they can stop the ball from hitting the target. However, should the ball happen to strike a target, a cool, refreshing bucket of water is dumped from above. The bucket then automatically resets and fills with water, ready for the next defender.
