Snowdown is here and everyone is wearing costumes. For those of you who are not aware, the original theme for 2018 was “Sporty at 40.” Then it was changed last summer because a waitress said she did not like that theme. So it was changed to “It’s a Formal Affair”. Really? Just like that?
The Snowdown themes are chosen two years ahead from a pool of suggestions that the public submits. This allows event organizers some time to plan their events with that chosen theme in mind. Also, event sponsors may want to introduce new events that are based on the chosen theme.
So in the true spirit of Snowdown being parody, merriment and comic relief, I offer an alternative to the “Formal Affair” theme and go back to the original theme, “Sporty at 40.” We could consider it the “official, unofficial theme” of Snowdown 2018.
The “Sporty at 40” theme lends itself to all sports: tennis, soccer, skiing, football, fishing, curling, jousting, potato sack racing, etc. And what could be better timing with the Olympics coming up?
For those of you who have already bought your formal attire, you could easily alter your costume to be a figure skater; can you say Chazz Michael Michaels?
I plan to wear my originally chosen costume – Jane Fonda in her workout leotard with leggings and perfectly manicured hair. I am hoping to run into Richard Simmons so we can “High Five” to Snowdown!
