Hi everyone! Timi here😈🎃This is the very first image I made for the Wild Rumpus in 2009. How far we have come!! Soon, we will be deciding on and announcing new board members for the nonprofit (we had a TON of wonderful people apply!) and I am getting things in position for this year's Craziness of Grand Proportion. I'm super excited. Talks with the city over event funding were well received and that is moving along as well, which is very encouraging. Follow us on fb at @wildrumpusparade and join the Wild Rumpus group there too, to keep abreast of news and share Rumpus pics, ideas, and stories with everyone! More soon!!! XO your faithful Max

Today the Wild Rumpus officially recognizes and honors the service of four of our original Board of Directors members..
@carolineaiken55 , @mon2miller , @j.gloh , and @danielsrobertson55 of @livewire_athens
The contributions of these amazing folks to the Wild Rumpus can not be understated!! Daniel, Montu, Caroline, and Jason's involvement goes back way before the formation of our nonprofit, and each of them was part of the crew to steer the ship through the transition to having a board and bringing the Rump to new heights.
We will miss them on the board, but you can be sure we will see their handiwork and imprint on our event for many years to come!!!
.
From the bottom of our hearts to the peaks of the Rumpaintops, THANK YOU, you guys!!!!
