We like to think every day working at 352 Media Group is a super-sized bag of fun, but one day out of the year, that's especially the case. Enter the annual 352 Media Group Field Day. What's better than watching a pack of grown-up geeks duke it out in the classic elementary-school field day games of yore? Not much, if I do say so myself. This year, we're also bring back celebrity referee Jason Sadler of IWearYourShirt to be the official scorekeeper and put the hammer down on the select few employees that may get a little too rowdy in the water-balloon toss and dizzy bat relay.

So in honor of this epic occasion, here's a look back at some of the greatest hits of past Field Days. And since we like to give stuff away almost as much as we like slow-cooked BBQ, we've got five of our custom-branded 352 Media Group tuxedo snuggies up for grabs. Comment on this blog post with your favorite Field Day activity to enter!

I definitely was a fan of the toss, whether it was balloon or egg I was all about it.  It was the only game that I could truly dominate at.

3 words, 1 big special spot in my heart. CAPTURE.THE.FLAG. Capture the Flag, to me, is the greatest game ever played. I wake up in cold sweats sometimes thinking of the brilliant games once played, opportunities lost, and flags captured.

They had this awesome event where we wore tuxedo bathrobes backwards...  Sadly, I lost mine in a terrible robe fire.  If only I could find another.....

My all time favorite field day event is Capture The Flag. I absolutely love playing it. Tug of war is a close second. I would skip the rest of the events and play only those two in school.

I LIVED for the mixed up shoe race when I was younger! Everyone would take off one shoe and throw them in a huge pile, then the teams would race relay style to the pile, find your appropriate shoe, put it on and run back! I usually had some wacky colored shoe that I could slip on without tying, so I was great at this race.

I played caterpillar kickball once and it was so fun!  You basically have to get in a line and pass the ball overhead and under legs until the end of the line to tag someone out. Also there is nothing funnier than watching someone stumble around after dizzy bat!

I gotta go with potato sack races - mostly because it reminds me of the Brady Bunch episode when they raced on their painted green concrete yard. Kept hoping for a major spill by Jan....she's just so annoying. And I totally need a Snuggie to add to my collection of 6....I get celebrities to wear them. So far, Arianna Huffington is the most famous person to wear one of mine. But a tuxedo Snuggie - that'll get me really far with the celebs!

I went to a military school.  We did not have field day.  We did have a morning drill and I got to play with guns.  However, I did like sack races when I was a kid.

there's one that really promotes teamwork, 5 people basically strap their feet to 2 x 4's holding ropes that hold the feet in place, and race another team strapped to the same setup, difficulty level high...crash factor high! everybody has to be in sync to make it happen.
