Hawaii Admissions Day at Splat Tag
Sunday, August 22

From Wikipedia:
Admission Day or Statehood Day is a legal holiday in the state of Hawaii in the United States. It is celebrated annually on the third Friday in August to commemorate the anniversary of the 1959 admission of Hawaii into the Union.
Statehood bills for Hawaii were introduced into the U.S. Congress as early as 1919 by the non-voting delegates Hawaii sent to the U.S. Congress. Additional bills were introduced in 1935, 1947 and 1950. In 1959, the U.S. Congress approved the statehood bill. This was followed by a referendum in which Hawaii residents voted overwhelmingly in support of statehood (the ballot question was: "Shall Hawaii immediately be admitted into the Union as a state?"), and on August 21, 1959 (the third Friday in August), President Dwight D. Eisenhower signed a proclamation making Hawaii the 50th state.

This Hawaiian Holiday inspires the Splat Tag Hawaii Admissions Day Special on the closes Sunday.

Another fun events planned at Splat Tag in 2010. :)

I played at the one this year and it was a blast! Throughout the day there were about a dozen with shirts. It changes the whole dynamics of the game when you're not so camo'ed in. Free entry for the price of a $3 hawaiian shirt from a thrift store isn't bad either. Wish I could make this game again but I have a volleyball tourney...darn these busy summers
