The Master of Ceremonies starts the game, a special guest launches the cheese, the partecipants follow and the person who arrives at the bottom of the hill first wind the cheese!

- Zorbing

The sphere is very soft so it isn't dangerous!

They use their feet, knees and head to pass the ball over the net but they can't use hands or arms.

- Bossaball
Bossaball is a combination of volleyball and trampolining with live music. Teams of 3-5 players can use hands, feet or head to hit the ball over the net.
They jump on the trampoline and try to keep the ball in air.
The Bossaball referes play live music while the teams are playing!

Thanksgiving and Black Friday

-Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving Day is a national holiday celebrated primarily in the United States and Canada as a day of giving thanks for the blessing of the harvest and of the preceding year.
Several other places around the world observe similar celebrations. It is celebrated on the fourth Thursday of November in the United States and on the second Monday of October in Canada.
Thanksgiving has its historical roots in religious and cultural traditions, and has long been celebrated in a secular manner as well.

- Black Friday

The day after the Thanksgiving, Friday, is known as Black Friday. This also is unofficially or officially start of holiday shopping season. Almost all stores come out with Doorbuster Sales with early bird special to attract consumers to their stores. People stand in line hours before the store is opened, to grab the bargain of the year. Almost every store has something that interests every one. For bargain hunters, if there is a biggest festival in a year, that would be, no doubt, the Black Friday.
That being said, please note revenue wise this is NOT the best day for stores. A couple of days before Christmas are the most prominent day from revenue perspective.
Additionally, Green Monday is another big shopping day.
