booth games at SEMA are a welcome sight, they add fun to the endless walking, and there can be a lot of time spent looking though halls at things you have no interest in, like speakers, mall crawlers, or "new products"

 

depending on the day, the winner of this putting game, could walk away with a sock monkey, a 10mm craftsman deep socket, a bottle of the below tequila, or a bottle of JD Makers Mark, and on the right side of the above backboard, you can see what the grand prize was each day, for getting a golf ball into EACH of the holes in one try

if you could make the paper airplane flu through the upper left hoop, you would win a free product. Only 2 people did, in all 4 days. Those airplanes on the table were utterly unpredictable

The most enthusiastic, hardest working guy at SEMA, was this barker, who worked the Fireball booth. The line was LONG, just to play with him, and he got participants to clap, chant, dance, and enjoy the spinning wheel of chance (which he so slyly stopped with his left elbow where he wanted it to, depending on their enthusiasm and level of cheer) to win the BIG gift back of the entire sample line of products, or just a single bottle of window treatment, etc. 

I kid you not, standing ovation of respect for his effort all day, every day, with every one that stood in line. I doff my hat, please join me! 

I think there were at least 4 booths with the cornhole game
