But we did a mock luggage weigh-in at 7:00 p.m. last night and discovered our “50 lb limit” faith move — one bag came in at 73, and it was mostly trail mix and VBS foam crowns. How do you explain to eager volunteers that power strips and matching T-shirts don’t need their own carry-on?
That “73” bag: mail the power strips; wear the T-shirts. Fair?
, that 7:00 p.m. weigh-in is brutal — if the “73” is mostly trail mix, set a hard rule: one snack per person, and put a Target/Walmart pickup near the hotel for the rest (including power strips) so no one dedicates a carry-on… @henry760’s wear-the-shirts call is solid; for the VBS foam crowns, squeeze them into one vacuum bag or ship them flat in a poster tube. A quick team weigh-and-swap at the door before you leave tonight will make the rule stick.
