The purpose of the fair is to turn....

“Special Heroes,” into “Super Heroes.” This is explained on our "about" page.

Compass

This compass finds 3 types of people, 4 types of locations and 16 missions.

3 People: Sailors = Administration, Landlubbers = Audience, Pirates = Players

4 Locations: (Home) Country, Venue, City, State, (Foreign) Country.

Mission: You glimpsed the 16 volunteer missions when you registered. They are explained at volunteer venues.

We are going to use a “baseball game analogy.” The Great American State Fair is the baseball game. The people you see live on the "Jumbotron" are the 1776 people featured at the water carnival. The Jumbotron shows a different person every 12 seconds.

You have to qualify to be on the Jumbotron by knowing the exact 12 seconds when you will go live. You will also have to show that you know how to go live with your own phone or from somebody else's phone.

30 teams will start. 5 teams reach the playoffs. 1 team is the Grand Prize Winner. The winning team has 60 people. Who's 12 second skit will be the Grand prize winner?

The compass will let you see the "Country" (home page) of every person at the fair. You will see if they have shown their American Spirit and what they are bringing to the celebration!

Before the last game of the season, especially if your team has made it to the world series, you will have developed a connection to create a rehearsed surprise, an amazing skit completely different from your original but yet have a large group of people organized weeks ahead and ready to pull it off, thanks to the QR code organizing tool and the most important thing, your promise to do the chicken dance!

Instead of the chicken dance at a baseball game, you will turn a Special Hero into a Super Hero at a Vocational Group Home that gets funding from the "Great American State Fair."

Instead of the Baseball stadium the location for volunteers is an internet landmark close to where you live. These may be scattered across the USA and maybe even the world. We call these internet locations "Volunteer Venues."

For example. The Fire Museum at the Cumming City Center is a “Volunteer Venue.” All meetings will be online and some people may try to attend a close walking distance away such as at coffee shops, parks and restaurants at the City Center. If you are online it doesn’t matter where you are, but some volunteers could be close by at the City Center. After the online meeting they may develop an activity, game, tournament or discussion and want to meet in person. For example the volunteer mission they are discussing is called “Meet New Dogs.” 3 people might be walking their dogs at the City Center. They decide to compete in a tail wagging competition. (Some of the dogs may also compete.)

Lets say the mission is “Special Heroes.”

There are 30 episodes. Each episode has 20 blocks of time. Each block of time may have a Sailors, Landlubbers and Pirates working as a team to complete it.

Set your compass to Sailor > Fire Museum > Special Heroes

Each mission has its own fine tuning. For Special Heroes you also set the episode and the block.

Something that applies to all missions is the volunteer roster. When you check into the Fire Museum or any other location, you go to the top of the volunteer roster. You see the time somebody checked in and if they are within walking distance.

For the Special Heroes TV series there are many different parts produced by many different people at many different times. It might take months to turn a Special Hero into a Super Hero.

Start by reading our about page to understand how “Ability Teams” are turned into “Special Heroes.”

Then practice with the compass.

Start-up goals

Overview

Points (Called “Loonies.”) are awarded to donors and volunteers.

Donors get 1 point for every 25 cents they donate. Volunteers get points as “tips.” The benchmark is 1 point for 1 minute but it can be anything.

Anyone can get a 10% referral fee for donations. You show a QR code so somebody can register. Your username is automatically listed on their registration.

Anyone can recycle points for anything even cash.

Points can be traded at any participating business or with any person.

Everything is on a public ledger.

Examples of how any person can do anything to “Get Loony!”

Put on a camp fire skit, teach a sailing lesson, get coffee, clean up the break room, play the Karaoke Challenge Game, cut the grass, bet on a “Meet New Dogs” challenge, or volunteer for the “Crossing the Delaware” boat parade and water carnival.

Details

Volunteers and Donors have a $1 registration fee.

Volunteers - 1 loony = 1 minute & Donors - 1 loony = 25 cents

Every single message and transaction is on a public ledger and everything is 100% transparent.

Volunteers learn the website. Donors do not need instructions and use the search engine below.

Volunteers go on 16 volunteer missions to create the American Spirit. They can get a 10% referral fee, crew share and can recycle volunteer minutes into cash tips or prizes.

Donors can telecommute to the volunteer mission and reward, request, manage or tip volunteers with loonies.

Volunteer and Donor results are on a scoreboard with divisions for Country, State/Prov, City, venue, team and person.

Anyone can create or use "Loony Coupons" to get discounts at restaurants, businesses and events.

Loonies shrink by 15% each time they are exchanged. Eventually someone will have to donate to the nonprofit again.

"Loonies let Donors target nonprofit donations to create effective volunteering for their community."

Besides 250 Birthday Celebrations, and a boat parade called "Crossing the Delaware, this site produces a crowd sourced interactive youtube TV series called "Special Heroes."

You are not logged in so you will only be able to view the search tool, you will not see results. Watch the instructional video.

Community Moderation

Any post can be deleted by anyone if the moderation score goes to -10. You can stuff the ballot box with as many votes as you want, but they cost you 1 loony each. We use a historical 3:1 attacker to defender ratio to protect Pirates (free speech) against British (cancel culture). It takes three attack votes to cancel one defend vote.
