  4. “Deal or No Deal”
    • the March group organized a Department 56 version of the popular TV game show
    • the entire audience was divided into 3 groups: North Pole, Dickens and Snowbabies, whose task was to pick folders with “monetary” values while trying to avoid getting “Busted”
    • the members of the North Pole group seemed to be able to “see through the folders” and picked high-valued folders right at the start of the game and led all the way to their eventual triumph
    • Cherie, Dennis, Susan and Judy did a fantastic job of running the game and keeping its participants engaged and enthralled
