I agree - bid day calls for an interactive event and watching a movie is more of a "sit and be silent activity." I understand that being in a small town presents some challenges. Here are a few random ideas:

-- BBQ cook-out

-- Ice cream social (have a sundae bar with all the fixin's!)

-- Karaoke

-- Ice skating/roller skating

-- Bowling

I agree with my sister Navane - Bid Day is for interactive events.

I pledged decades ago, but a food event - in our case, it was a bar-b-que - seems popular when I've seen Bid Day pictures on Instagram this year and in past years. Cook-outs, candy/ice cream bars, etc. I've seen pics of chapters in recent years where they used a theme for the food, decor, outfits, etc.

For a food event, you could rotate tables...meaning that girls eat the main meal at one table, then if they have dessert, you have everyone get up and move to another place at the table. That way they interact with more sisters.

I also suggest going on Instagram and looking at various chapters' Bid Day pictures, you might get good ideas there.
