Could we call this the Great WhiteHunter Derby? Since you said it was a squirrel tourney.
That's funny you don't look Druish.

Re: Church fundraiser
Sounds like a neat event.
I read that in the late 1700's-early 1800's squirrel hunting comptitions were a big deal for local noteriety. Rules were usually set for hunters to turn in squirrel scalps with both ears conected to be counted, and the event lasting 3 days. On the results I found for one competition, the winner turned in 903 squirrels, the second place was 790.
Made me wonder how much territory they covered, and how much shot and powder a guy could carry with him, and how many relatives could help withh the shooting.

Re: Church fundraiser
My church did something like this. We don't have squirrels so we had a baby seal derby. Don't knock it 'til you've tried it.
And what do YOU want for Christmas, little girl?

Length of the squirrels what? Tail, penis, from end of tail to tip of nose. I might want in on this.
Wishing I could quit my job, and hunt and fish all day long !!!!

Why, are you going to be inspecting the squirrels to make sure they meet local health codes?
