DADS GARAGE CRAWL

Due to overwhelming demand the Bell Dad's Garage Crawl (BDGC) is back for 2024, and rest assured it will be bigger and better than ever before. This year the ELITE package is included with the price of admission, which means more events, more swag, more fun, and sets the stage for BDGC to take our place as the biggest parent party of the year. Not only is the fun worth the price of admission, it gets you out of the house for 5 hours (for less than the cost of a babysitter), and all proceeds go to your kids. Smash that buy button and sign-up today.

Eligible participants: Bell dads

Thanks to: Keith Petersen, Scott Walster, Mike Mead, James Davidson, and Matt McMillion

Oh, Bell, No! It’s A Family Scavenger Hunt!

Have you always thought your family has what it takes to outwit, outlast, and outplay other teams? Have you watched The Amazing Race and thought, "That should be me!" Good news, it can be. The Oh, Bell, No! Scavenger Hunt is the place to test your family's mettle and see if you can be the first to solve the clues, figure out the password, and get to the finish line. We promise this is not your mama's scavenger hunt (unless your name is Baer or Falco, in which case, this IS your mama's scavenger hunt). The route will be long and you will probably need a car to compete, although fast bike riders/marathon runners are welcome. Many will compete, but only one family will win the inaugural Oh, Bell, No! trophy and a prize package including 4 personalized winner's t-shirts. Limit of 2 adults per team.

Spots available: unlimited

Cost: $75 per family 

Eligible participants: Open to all
