The 2009 Brownwood Reunion Celebration is only about a week away as many of the popular contests are getting put into place.
One of the most popular is the Hands on a House competition, which for 2009 is being billed as EXTREME.
The Hands on a House competition selects around 20 contestants each year competing for a custom built playhouse. Contestants must keep their hand in contact with the house as set forth in the agreed rules during the Brownwood Reunion Celebration. The last person remaining with their hand in contact with the house at the end of the Reunion wins the playhouse. This year’s playhouse is a custom built 1950’s style diner.
As this EXTREME version of the competition kicks off, contestants will face extra challenges and mini-contests to test their skill, ability, and endurance even further.
The event begins at 5pm September 18th & the schedule for the EXTREME events are as follows.
