Extreme Dive Club Meeting

Posted on by Posted in Dive Club Meetings Leave a comment

Have you ever been to an Extreme Dive Club Meeting? I’m pretty sure I can count on one hand the number of them I have missed. Typically, if I miss one, it tends to be December’s meeting. I can’t really explain that one… it just is what it is.

Extreme Dive Club Meeting

So, what exactly is Extreme Dive Club Meeting? Well, it is a place to come on the First Thursday of the Month to eat. Oh wait, that’s just an added bonus. It is a place to come and socialize with other like-minded divers… or… if you aren’t currently a diver but you are trying to take that first step, it’s a great place to meet others who will encourage you to dive on in.

SCUBA Takes the Guessing Out of Christmas

Posted on by Posted in Scuba Education Leave a comment

SCUBA for Christmas

It is the time of year when you start scratching your head wondering just what you can get that special someone for Christmas. Well look no further, we have options for presents under the tree as well as stocking stuffers. Have that picky someone? Never fear, there are even gift certificate options. This is your one stop shop for that person you love with the sport of SCUBA diving.

SCUBA Certifications

Option number 1 is getting that person in your life a SCUBA class. If they are not currently a certified SCUBA diver, then sign them up for Open-Water SCUBA Classes. If you sign them up now before December 24, 2018, you’ll get the option for a free mask or free pair of dive boots. Both of those, the mask and the dive boots, are something you should get when going through classes. Each of those items tend to be specific to people. Continue reading→

Posted on by Posted in Blogging

Happy Friday and Post Tryptophan Induced Coma. We hope that you had a fantastic Thanksgiving and for those of you who still are planning on celebrating through this weekend, Happy Thanksgiving!!

Being as though it is the Thanksgiving season, we thought we’d take a minute to tell you why we’re Thankful here at Extreme Sports SCUBA. Since Thanksgiving fell on the 22nd this year, we’re going to give you 22 reasons. I’ll tell you the people who contributed… Grady Weston, Deb Weston, Dan La Due, Doug Lord, and of course the blogger, that’s me, since I’m writing this.

22 Reason’s we’re Thankful

Black Friday Deal

Posted on by Posted in Did You Know

When the weather outside is frightful, normally Extreme Sports is off down in Cozumel feeling delightful. Sending back photos of the sand and the sun and of course all the shenanigans that they are doing. Trying to make those of us who were unable to go jealous. But, I’m here to tell you, this Monday the weather played a prank on ALL. OF. US.

Snow. We had snow. In November. Snow in November in this part of the country isn’t totally unheard of but it is very uncommon. Especially temperatures with highs in the upper 20’s or lower 30’s and lows in the low teens. But Mother Nature got a laugh in on all of us. Continue reading→

6th Newton County Christmas for Kids Chili/Non-Chili Cookoff

Posted on by Posted in Fundraising Events

Ladies and gentlemen, it’s that time of the year to say… The 6th Annual Newton County Christmas for Kids Chili/Non-Chili Cookoff has come and gone. How on earth can that be? But it’s true. This is one of the largest fundraisers conducted to raise money for Newton County Christmas for Kids. If you’ll remember, last week, there was a blog post on what Newton County Christmas for Kids is and what they accomplish. If you missed that post, I highly suggest you go read it… Now! I’ll wait!

Now that you’re back… This year, the chili cookoff got moved back to the first weekend of November trying to avoid prior commitments… i.e. Halloween parties, The Underwater Pumpkin Carving, Maple Leaf, etc. October seems to be a busy month. The one problem with pushing back so late in the year can be the weather. Now here is where the blogger (that’s me) will tell you about the dream I had… finally.

I was afraid to mention what I thought the weather would be like prior to the event. But, I had a dream that I discussed the weather with Deb and it was going to be pouring down rain. I refused to mention those words prior to the event or even during the event. I left a lot of people wondering what my dream was about. Luckily, the weather held out and it was a beautiful evening. A little windy, but no rain until well after 10 pm when the event was over and we were all cleaned up.

#BlogOctober 2018

Posted on by Posted in Blogging

Who can believe we’re already in November? I hope you were able to join us last night for the 2018 Chili and Non-Chili Cookoff. While there was a threat of severe weather, it was a lovely evening! Thank you to everyone who helped us raise money for this wonderful cause. There will be a post coming out about that this week. I hope you’re ready to see the winners, that is if you don’t know who they are already. I believe this is the first year we didn’t have to have someone accept an award in someone else’s place. That’s always exciting!

Now on to the October Post Results!!

Newton County Christmas for Kids

Posted on by Posted in Fundraising Events

In 2011 after a reorganization of the firefighters helping the children at Christmas, Newton County Christmas for Kids was formed. This is a totally non-for-profit organization. That means all of the helpers volunteer their time with this organization. All funds received go toward helping the kids.

Every year they find a warehouse to set up as a distribution center for the toys. Then the area Newton County fire departments, Newton County Ambulance district, and Newton County Rescue and Recovery volunteer their time to gather, wrap, and distribute the toys. Continue reading→

2018 Official Chili Cookoff Rules

It is that time of year to start thinking about the Newton County Christmas for Kids Chili and Non-Chili Cookoff and Auction.

Now, I know that some of you aren’t ready to think about Christmas yet, but this is a fundraiser that has to happen before Thanksgiving so that we can raise the funds to help the local children of Newton County have a wonderful Christmas should their parents need just a little help to make that happen.
