NSP BARBECUE and BEACH PARTY: There will be a “bring your own” barbecue on Wednesday afternoon. Several grills are available at the cabins, however additional grills are welcome and would be appreciated. Beach activities such as games and contests are planned to coincide with the BBQ.

DOOR PRIZES: NSP has traditionally been blessed with many wonderful door prizes donated by many generous vendors. For past NSP’ers, the rules have changed slightly this year. Here’s how it’ll work: On your nametag will be a number. That number will be used in drawing for door prizes. To make it fair, winners of door prizes valued at under $25 will have their names put back in the hat for future drawings. Door prizes must be claimed by the person whose name is drawn or by an immediate family member. Door prizes will be given out at each of the catered meals, during the barbecue, and after each of the programs on Friday. Winners’ names will be posted. Winners must claim their prizes before the final program is concluded. At that time, all unclaimed door prizes, remaining door prizes, and the grand prizes will be drawn for.

CANOE & TUBING TRIP: Brewers Canoes and Tubes - $15.00 per person, transportation is provided to and from Brewers via bus. Canoers will leave Brewers at 8:30 am, tubes will leave in shifts (if needed) at 9:00, 9:30 and 10:00. Brewers will provide free cooler tubes for every five tubes rented. Children under 10 can go 2 per tube for only $7.50 each. Registration forms will be available during registration times and payment is to be made at Brewers prior to the trip on the 7th, or you can pay ahead of time at Brewers. We will stop for lunch at Smith Falls.

NSP LIVE !!! The NSP World Wide Web Site will be updated on a daily basis. Your electronic images and/or articles are welcome.

NSP CD-ROM: There are plans to produce an NSP CD-ROM, which will include photographs, CCD images, and short video clips from any of the first four Nebraska Star Parties.
