I tried to give away trophies a number of places. No one wanted them. As a last ditch effort, I took the trophies apart (unscrewed the long screws) and made piles of the different parts... big long screws, nuts, bright colored plastic sections, marble squares, wood squares, etc...

I took a picture of it and posted it on a local "Free Give-away" Facebook page, and EVERYTHING was snatched up, with multiple people on a "wait list" in LITERALLY MINUTES. I guess the pieces looked appealing to crafter/artists, etc? Who knew?

Hope that helps.

[> [> Subject: A WR school collects old trophies and repurposes them for their Halloween feises. They get spray painted black and get small spiders, bats, witches hats, etc. glued on. They look great and go with the theme. Kids are excited to get them - something different.
