Watch for These ST&BF “POP UP-portunities” in the Weeks Ahead!

You never know what fun might POP UP at a POP UP!

Earlier this month at a “bundled” POP UP outing that included Great Heights with Delightful Kites along with Steps to Survivorship, DISC-over DISC Golf, Qigong for Cancer Survivors and some BAGGO (cornhole), “Bob the Builder” Hartig got out his wind-powered bubble blower, and before we knew it, a few participating grandkids came up with their own game involving the bubbles and a kite accessory as a group of survivors laughed and cheered them on! Oh, what fun!!!

Yesterday we kicked off the first day of summer with a “Drive to Survive/Swinging Survivors” outing at Sunset Hills Golf Course, Driving Range and Miniature Golf!

It was a warm first day of summer, but the strong west breeze not only provided a bit of relief to the golfers, but it also provided a bit of assistance to our drives! 😊

Afterwards, we enjoyed a casual round of mini golf! Although no one had a hole-in-one (maybe next time), we all had a good time! Best score went to Candy Meyer (45)!

The benefit of these POP UP Opportunities (“POP UP-portunities) is that we can take advantage of some great weather. The obvious disadvantage is that they are very difficult to plan for. Previously, POP UP-portunities did not show up on our calendar as they were scheduled only a few days in advance and announced via the ST&BF POP UP e-mail list. Starting with the July calendar, you will see “Potential POP UP” activities listed on certain dates (typically, one POP UP-portunity per week). Please understand these dates are only tentative. If Wisconisn’s whimsical weather cooperates with us... they will be held on that day with final details sent out via the ST&B POP UP e-mail list. If not, rescheduling details will be sent via the same e-mail list. Contact Tim to join the POP UP e-mail list!

Watch for these (& other) POP UP-portunities!

ST&BF at the Christopher Farm & Gardens: These gatherings have included a wide variety of activities – Wander the Wonderful Gardens, Survivorship Through the Lens, Steps to Survivorship, Great Heigts with Delightful Kites, Gentle Yoga & Qigong for Cancer Survivors, Scavenger Hunts, and of course many Bonding Bonfies! Watch for a “Game Night” in July and future “Restoration Projects” in the months ahead.

Pickleball Play: Although we have had to cancel one “Pickleball Play” session so far this year due to severe weather conditions, watch for more Pickleball Play POP UP-portunities!

Often, these POP UP-portunities involve multiple “bundled” activities that may include one or more of the above along with other activities such as Steps to Survivors, Discover Disc Golf, Qigong for Cancer Survivors, Yoga for Cancer Survivors, BAGGO (cornhole), and whatever else we can come up with!
