Well, I've priced it out, and I can get 2 sets of 12 each for about $40 total. If someone can find a better deal let me know. I think flags would be best so that the game doesn't start to become tackle! I know 2 hands can get that way pretty fast some times and we don't want injuries. As for weather... it's really unpredictable. In the 8 years I've lived here it's been about 50/50... snow on that weekend or a beautiful weekend (cold but sun shining). I think as long as we stick with Jennie's idea to have chili and hot drinks we should be ok. I don't think it ever gets too cold in the valley in november... if we were up in park city I'd say it would be!
