Great American State Fair
250th Birthday!
Register or Login
Imagine walking towards a State Fair that has a 1776 Pirate VS British theme celebrating the “American Spirit.” The fair grounds are the entire USA. This Fair is just like a Pirate going on a Treasure Hunt! Any person can create a booth for just $1. The booth can be live and online. Just like finding Pirate treasure, you don’t know what type of American Spirit you will find and where it is. There is a treasure map so you can walk to the booths that are in your city or go online to visit anywhere in the world. We list Federal, State and the local patriot celebrations at “The Pirate Dive Bar.” (Inspired by the 1776 Tun Tavern in Philadelphia Pennsylvania)
In keeping with our 1776 theme there are Landlubbers, Sailors and Pirates at the Fair. Landlubbers are like 99% of the people that walk around a state fair having fun, food and watch sports and performances. Sailors and Pirates compete in the “George Washington Christmas Game” to create the “American Spirit,” and entertain the Landlubbers. If you are a landlubber, register and go through the entrance above. If you are the 1% that want to consider being a Sailor or Pirate, keep reading so you can sneak in the back way.
If you are a landlubber you can play the pen and paper version without logging in!
The nonprofit donations from Landlubbers and the volunteering from Sailors and Pirates support special populations described on our “About” page. Every volunteer minute or donation including goods and services, is on a public ledger. We “Gamify” the public ledger to create a paradigm shift in nonprofit transparency and the hilarious “George Washington Christmas Game.”
July 4, 2025 President Trump declares the beginning of a year long “Great American State Fair,” for our 250th Birthday.
The “George Washington Christmas Game” celebrates the American Spirit with some funny language! In 1776 munitions and supplies “liberated” from British ships were called “Booty.” The British called our marines “Scurvy Dog Pirates!” A Dubloon was a gold Spanish coin all pirates wanted. It was commonly called a “loony.” We measure the “American Spirit” by the loony minute. 1 loony = 1 minute. If you like what a pirate did to “Share Good Cheer,” surrendered booty from your account goes into the Pirates’ account. You both get a score measured in “booty.” Biggest loony booty wins!
250 years ago a group of fishermen, hunters and farmers created a secret weapon to defeat the British. Some of the marines going across the Delaware River with George Washington would be unarmed musicians marching into the center of battle singing and playing “Yankee Doodle Dandy.” The worse the battle got the happier they would play and sing even when mortally wounded. The good cheer from the music created high morale and inspired the good deeds of fighting courageously. Our pirates were out gunned, out numbered and an all volunteer force fighting with hunting weapons, small fishing boats and farm tools. They regularly defeated a vastly superior enemy by creating the good cheer of “The American Spirit.” To this day, “Yankee Doodle Dandy” is the number 1 song played in fife and drum competitions. The unarmed marine volunteer musicians who marched into battle playing and singing “Yankee Doodle Dandy” became our country’s first rock stars.
The GWCG makes it very easy to organize fun, games, skits, competitions and volunteers to celebrate our 250th birthday or any party. It is also a great way to manage duties at your business, break room or family. It does what George Washington did, create the good cheer of the American Spirit.
This is a score board for the American Spirit!
People that don’t know how to play (Landlubbers), can be part of your team. They are given simple directions or just watch. They play alongside dedicated volunteers who know how to play and keep score. This makes the George Washington Christmas Game all inclusive and any “Special Hero” can play. If you can’t run with the big dogs (Sailors and Pirates) and you (Landlubber) have to stay up on the porch, if you are crafty enough you can catfish the catfishers and out bark the carnival barkers and end up with the biggest booty. Landlubbers definitely have the best chance to win the “President For A Day” contest.
Sailors do the serious work at a state fair such as safety, administration and construction. Pirates create the fun and food. Since booths can be located anywhere in the world, Sailors and Pirates should choose volunteering that helps the community where they live. It can be for any cause that improves the health and wellness of their location or just helps somebody smile. Watch the video on the HELP page and that should make sense.
Volunteers have a challenge. You are $1 in the hole after you register. Can you get at least a $1 tip for your volunteering to break even then another dollar in fund raising commission to be up $1?
The first thing you do is watch the instructional video so you know how to “recycle” for cash tips, and how to show a QR code for donation referrals. You may get 10% commision each time your referral donates. You see it immediatly in your account each time they donate.
Earning your first cash dollar in tips (recycling) as a scurvy dog “carnival barker” is your initiation into the “Atlanta Volunteers.”
When 10 people register from your QR code you get “Clubhouse” privileges at our clubouse on Lake Lanier when the construction finishes. Depending on how well you share the American Spirit, you could earn cash, prizes, crew share or be cast or crew on a TV series called “Special Heroes.” Some of the rewards are spectacular!
You start with very easy and fun volunteering to learn the GWCG. Typical volunteer “Gifts” of the American Spirit are 1 to 25 minutes and do fun and simple things like make hot chocolate, clean a winshield, or sing or not sing “Yankee Doodle Dandy.” Once you play the game a few times and know how volunteer minutes are traded, you can move onto some very effective volunteering for your community. You “get loony” from Landlubbers supporting your volunteer mission. Loonies can be recycled for tips or traded for prizes.
To begin, after watching the instructional video take about 10 minutes to create your first gift of the American Spirit. It is about 1 minute to create each gift after that, but some gifts you might work on for days or weeks to do something amazing for your community!
Volunteer time is a universal currency. More stable and desired than gold, oil, real estate or jewels. You can’t counterfeit it or steal it. Every man decides the value of their time and what they will trade for it.
This website contains volunteer activities for our 250th birthday and a TV series called “Special Heroes.” During the TV series, instead of fixing up a house, garden or car a group of friends and family turns a Special Hero into a Super Hero. This is done by solving quality of life issues such as employment, housing or the pursuit of happiness. By registering with $1 for the 250th Birthday Celebrations you will be able to watch this crowd sourced interactive TV series. A quick peek at the episode structure is here, instructional video here. The George Washington Christmas Game is a surprising way to create “Good Cheer” for “Special Heroes.” Only “test” data is in the site as it is in beta testing.
The marines were an innovative mix of volunteers. Why did they volunteer?
