Just a little note from your Potentate....
I hope everyone is safe and warm after this winter storm we went
through. I know I have heard of some with busted pipes and damaged
water heaters. We have not seen weather like this in my life time. So
far we have been lucky not to have any damage. Of course the electric-
ity going off for 35 minutes after being on for an hour did not help. We
were better off than a lot of people that did not have any electricity. The
main thing is that everyone is OK.
I want to once again thank the Hella Shrine Decorating Commit-
tee for the spectacular job they did for the Potentate’s Ball. This Committee, headed up by Ben and Diane Wilson, went
way beyond First Lady Dianne and my expectations. They did all of this and was still under budget by $500.00. The 18
wheelers were magnificent. I had told my Dianne that I would not be surprised if Ben had figured out how to get a Peter-
bilt truck inside the terrace room. Instead of one he had 4. Then the Ball Room was exactly what our First Lady wanted.
We did have approximately 150 people brave the cold weather to come to the Ball. It was great seeing our friends
from Hella and from the other Temples. We started with a happy hour in the Terrace room then moved to the Ball room
to enjoy a great meal prepared by Hella’s own Rickey Hall and his crew. Everyone was talking about how good the meal
was. Then dancing with music from the Blandells.
I do want to say a special thank you and Semper Fi to Noble Bill Borne. He did a great job with the music when
we were introduced. Then the musician that was supposed to play background music for our happy hour and during din-
ner had to cancel. I asked Noble Bill if he could help out. Not only did he agree but he did a great job. Thank you Noble
Bill Borne.
Don’t forget, in April we go on our Annual Paragon Casino Trip. It will be the 25th and 26th. Look for the Flyer
in this month’s Camels Calf.
Fraternally,
Mike Hall
Hella Potentate 2021
March Greetings from First Lady Dianne!
2021 has gotten off to a blast…an artic blast, that is! This has been a week to go in the books
what with the low temps, snow and ice, and windchills in the minus degrees. I have never experi-
enced a week like it. I’m ready for a “normal” Texas winter where the temps don’t get below freezing
at night (very often) and in the 60’s or higher during the day. Being a Native Texan, I was NOT cut out
to be a Northern girl! Mike and I were very fortunate that we did not have any broken pipes, did not
have to go without water, and only had to go without electricity (in an all-electric house) for a short
time. Thank goodness we had a wood burning fireplace and lots of wood to keep us warm. The only
ones in the Hall household that seem to enjoy the weather were our two big dogs…Dice and Jewels.
The Potentate’s Ball, considering COVID-19 and the cold, icy weather, was a HUGE success. For those of you that
were not able to come, you missed the most spectacular decorations ever! Diane and Ben Wilson did a fantastic job of heading
up Hella’s Decorating Committee. I have always said that Hella has the best Decorating Committee ever and they did not let me
down this year at all. I still get teary eyed just thinking about it. The Ballroom was spectacular, but the Terrace Room…WOW!
The four (4) eighteen-wheelers were a sight to behold. Ben, and his son Eddie, did a fantastic job making the trucks that served
as the lines for the food. A big shout out and thank you goes to everyone on the Decorating Committee for their efforts, hard
work and long hours. I cannot begin to thank you enough for “A Night to Remember”.
Now on to the rest of the year. We have lots of things planned and hope everyone can join us. However, safety is our
number one concern so only come and join us if you feel safe. In the words of Imperial Potentate, Jim Smith, let’s
“Have Fun in ’21”!

Wow, what a month February was. We had a record-breaking snow storm that caused massive power
outages in the State, which resulted in numerous people having frozen water pipes. I hope that each
of you came through the storm with your health in tact and no major damage to your home. It is dur-
ing times like this that we need to reach out to each other and make sure our fellow Nobles are safe
and in good health. As bad as the storm was, it is comforting to know that as a Noble of the Mystic
Shrine we did not have to go through this alone. If you know of a Noble who is having a hard time
recovering from the winter storm, lets work together to try and help them out.
As we put winter weather behind us, it is time for many of our Units to have their Mid-Winter meetings and competitions. If you
are traveling to a Mid-Winter meeting, be careful on road. If you are competing, represent Hella proudly. But most importantly
enjoy your time with Nobles from around the State because fun and fellowship is the founding principle of the Shrine.

Greeting Nobles,
Well.....we all survived the Ice Age of 2021! Some better than others when it comes to frozen pipes and
all, but we did all come through! We have a great time ahead of us! The Fundraising Committee met this
past Monday and we have several events that we are putting together to raise money for both Hella and
our great philanthropy, our Shriner Hospitals for Children. WE NEED YOUR HELP! We will have op-
portunities for folks to help secure raffle prizes, to get individuals or companies to sponsor an event in
some way, to help at the event in the concession stand or some other way the day of the event. I’ve put on
2 cornhole tournaments and both times I have gotten so many compliments on the way we did things and
the fact that nobles and their ladies showed up to help and to just BE THERE for the event. That makes
me proud and makes me feel so good to do what we do as Shriners!
We have cornhole tournaments, a BBQ cook-off, a Sportsman’s Banquet, and some other events as well. Please think about what
you can do, what you LIKE to do, and how you can help in any way. If you are a social media wizard I REALLY need to talk to
you about publicizing and advertising our events. That would help in SO MANY ways !! We can hold all the events we want, but if
we don’t let people know about them then we did all the work for nothing. We need to be more socially visable and make sure that
folks know about Hella and what we do to help the children! Look for the calendar of events and see which ones you may like to
help with and please look me up at the Stated Meeting and let me know what you think you could do to help our fundraising cause.
We would love to have you!
Keep in mind that we have the Potentate’s Golf Tournament coming up April 24th. Get your foursome together and let’s have a great
time! Lance Goff does an AWESOME job putting this together and is appreciated more than he knows! Come out to Woodbridge
Golf Club in Wylie, shoot that low score and claim a trophy! We had a great time last year and look to make it even better this year !
Let’s all have a great March and look ahead to the summer months and the chance to do a few more things! We have TSA and
Imperial coming up if we have no other setbacks. Hopefully we can have a great turnout in Houston for Imperial! We just need to
be diligent in our continued efforts to help slow down the spread of the virus. We certainly want to keep all our nobles safe and do
the right thing when it comes to doing our part for the greater good. I’m excited to get back to normal and to get to be around my
brothers again!
Fraternally!

Greetings Nobles!
The last thirty days have been like drinking from a fire-hose, but its been a blast! I really appreciate
everyone going out of their way to introduce themselves and lend me a helping hand. I’ve sat in a hand-
ful of meetings and listened to the leadership of this Shrine discuss back and forth our personal values,
fraternal principles, and what measures we can take to make sure this lasts forever. The collective “grey
matter” of this Shrine is only matched by the hearts of those who dedicate their time here. I really feel
like we are a family!
I pray that everyone came out of the great 2021 Winter Storm safe, sound, and with a new apprecia-
tion for God’s gift of electricity, gas, and clear roads! Our beloved building sustained minimal damage
and is being repaired as I write this. Yes, we had to take an entire week off and move our activities to the following week, but it
shows the willingness of each person to put the work in and get things done.
As God’s imperfect children, we can suffer from a natural negative-bias until we really know how good we have it. What
separates you from the pack is your positive attitude and your willingness to “make things happen,” Hella Shrine has back bone.
We have might, we have grit, we have endurance, we have experience, and we have a drive for what we do here. How can we all
work together as Nobles of this cherished Shrine? What would you like to see change? How can we accomplish that as partners?
Teamwork makes the dream work, and we are in a very exciting time. What is your vision for Hella?
If this all comes across like I’m a cheerleader....good! I am. We have a lot of wins to celebrate together, and some planning
to make wins happen in the future. It is an honor and privilege for me to be a Noble of this Shrine, lets rock it!
From the world’s oldest fraternity sprang the world’s greatest philanthropy: Shriners!
Fraternally,

Chaplin’s Corner
Spring is Just Around the Corner
Song of Solomon 2:11-12
11 For lo, the winter is past, The rain is over and gone.
12 The flowers appear on the earth; The time of singing has come,
And the voice of the turtledove Is heard in our land. (NKJV)
As I sit here at my laptop writing this I look outside, the ground is white with snow. I ask myself
is spring really just around the corner? Meteorologists and climatologists break the seasons down into
groupings of three months based on the annual temperature cycle as well as our calendar; spring includes
March, April, and May. According to the weatherman it’s already Spring. Astronomically the vernal or spring equinox is on or
around March 21. In that case Spring is still about three weeks away.
In verse 11 above I thought about substituting snow for rain. However my brother, a retired Army Chaplin, reminded me
“no substitutions in the inspired text.” After a little research I found out what King Solomon was referring to when he said “The
rain is over.” Israel had two rainy seasons with the last one ending in February or March. Verse 12 reminds us that we will soon see
flowers blooming, trees budding out, and hear songbird’s voices in the air. Yes Spring is just around the corner.
Spring is a time to open up the house and let the sun shine in, do some spring cleaning, get the garden planted, check out the
lawn mower to make sure it’s ready for the new season, as well as other tasks you do at the arrival of Spring. Try this year to spring
clean you mind as well, get rid of some of the junk in your head. Forgive those who have wronged you, quit holding that grudge
you may have, put last year behind you and look forward to this new season.
Spring is also a time of renewal. This Spring I encourage everyone to renew your commitment to Hella Shrine, your Blue
Lodge, your family, your job, but most of all your commitment to God. After all it is God, the Grand Architect of the Universe, who
gives us the seasons. God told Noah after the flood: “While the earth remains, Seedtime and harvest, Cold and heat, Winter and
summer, And day and night Shall not cease.” Genesis 8:22 (NKJV)
Please inform the Hella office if you or anyone you know becomes ill or injured. God bless you, your family, and loved ones.

Assistant Rabban
Greeting Nobles, wishing you all the utmost safety and good health. The Membership com-
mittee meeting will continue, the meeting interval has changed, now on the 4th Wednesday,
at 6:30 pm. Dinner WILL be served at each meeting.
As we all know, the Covid Vaccine is being distributed. Hopefully some level of normalcy
will prevail as a result during this year, and allow Hella to get back to the business at hand. I
hope to see you at the meeting!
It’s with great honor and humility that I accepted and was installed in January to represent Hella as Assistant Rabban.
I’ll perform the duties of my office to the best of my ability. Please step forward when asked to participate in our ef-
forts of encouraging new members, and welcoming them and their families to their new Hella Shrine family!
We continue to encourage each of you to be safe and adhere to social distancing when possible. If you are in a high-
risk category, I strongly urge you to wear the protection during any meetings at the Temple and remain safe.
If you don’t feel comfortable within a group of 10+, certainly stay home and stay safe.
Upcoming Meetings and Events:
Membership Meeting will March 24, 2021; watch the Camels Calf for updates on Membership activity.
We have a Spring Ceremonial planned for May 15, 2021
We currently have 4 petitions, and at last 3 more in the works.
My plan is to visit as many lodges as possible, encouraging Master Masons to become Nobles of the Shrine, by en-
lightening them of our Activities, Fun and Fellowship that awaits them and their families!
There are 130 Masonic Lodges within our jurisdiction and 66 within a 40-mile radius of the Temple. These 66 will be
my primary focus this year, though all 130 Lodge Secretaries will receive a letter to be read at their Stated Meetings
about Hella and encouraging all who are interested to contact me. I will need assistance! I’ll speak to the overall plan
during our Membership meeting… please come and participate!!
All Nobles must continue to exhibit an Ambassador role when communicating our purpose and activities to all Master
Masons within the appendant bodies that we attend. This is VERY important!
We are HELLA, and we serve the greatest purpose in support of our Shriners Children’s Hospital and your Temple.
Please stand up and be counted when called upon to lead or participate.
Be safe, diligent and stay healthy!

Suggested Blue Lodge Program
Shriners International, also commonly known as The Shriners or formerly known as the Ancient Arabic Order of the Nobles of the
Mystic Shrine, (AAONMS) is a Masonic society established in 1870 and is headquartered in Tampa, Florida. Shriners International
describes itself as a fraternity based on fun, fellowship, and the Masonic principles of brotherly love, relief, and truth.
In The Beginning… In 1870 a group of Masons gathered frequently for lunch in New York City. Among the regulars were
Walter M. Fleming, M.D. and William J. “Billy” Florence, an actor. The group frequently talked about starting a new fraternity for
Masons – one centered on fun and fellowship, more than ritual. Fleming and Florence took this idea seriously enough to do some-
thing about it.
Billy Florence had been on tour in France, and had been invited to a party given by an Arabian diplomat. The exotic style,
flavors and music of the Arabian-themed party inspired him to suggest this as a theme for the new fraternity. Walter Fleming, a de-
voted fraternity brother, built on Florence’s ideas and used his knowledge of fraternal ritual to transform the Arabian theme into the
Ancient Arabic Order of the Nobles of the Mystic Shrine (A.A.O.N.M.S.).
By June 1922 the cornerstone had been laid for the first Shriners Hospitals for Children® in Shreveport, La. The first patient
to be admitted in 1922 was a little girl with a clubfoot, who had learned to walk on the top of her foot rather than the sole.
In 1926 the Hella Shrine Hospital for Crippled Children in Dallas, Texas, became the Scottish Rite Children’s Hospital and
the oversight and support was assumed by the Scottish Rite Bodies.
Never does a Shriner stand so tall as when he stoops to help a child. Through the remarkable foresight, commitment and
fundraising skills of the Shriners International (Headquarters in Tampa) nearly one million children have been treated at one of the
21 Shriners Hospitals for Children across the United States, and in Canada and Mexico.
There are 196 Temples worldwide and approximately 350k members. Shriners International is a fraternity based on fun,
fellowship and the Masonic principles of brotherly love, relief and truth. We strive to continue support and provide care for our
Hospitals for Children with a worldwide network, no matter the families ability to pay.
Shriners International is among the greatest Philanthropy’s on the planet! Shriners Hospitals for Children has 21 health
systems within the United States!
Hella Hospital Fund Raisers include (not limited to):
• IHOP Day - members staff the restaurants within our jurisdiction and take donations for the purpose of supporting our kids,
while IHOP offers all free pancakes on this one-day event.
• Bucket Drive - Annual Collection Brigades, staff designated street locations to collect money for our hospitals (Fez on the
corner, branding at its best!) Usually a two-day event. Shifts are available, any time increments from 30 min to 8 hours.
• Hella Classic Dirt Track Race - Usually taking place at the Greenville Super Bowl Speedway. This event usually raises 20-
30k dollars for our kids. Toys and Bicycles are drawn by tickets obtained at the box office and handed out by Nobles of the Shrine.
It’s always a great family activity!
• Clubs and Units around the jurisdiction of Hella will conduct annual fund raisers as well, and contribute to the Hospitals,
Hospital Transportation, etc.
• We raised more than 75k dollars in 2020 through these events!
Fun and Fellowship activities include (not limited to):
• Potentates Ball - Formal party, well decorated with live music, dancing, dinner and open bar!
• New Year’s Party - Decorated Ball Room, live music, dancing, and dinner, Champagne and Black-Eyed peas at mid night!
• Super Bowl Party!
• Jalapeno Cook-Off!
• Easter Egg Hunt!
• Hella Golf Tournament!
• Sanctioned BBQ Contest!
• Corn Hole Tournaments!
• Halloween Party
• Christmas Party!
• City Parade participation, at least 3 times per year (every night of the State Fair of Texas)
There are many Hella Units available to entertain your special interest:
Clown Unit Directors Staff
Brew Club Greeters
101’s Oriental Band
Just to name a few, there are many others… come and explore the options!
Hella Shrine is in NO WAY trying to attract your attention away from your Blue Lodge commitment, but instead offer additional
fraternal options that include your family. You’ll meet many new friends, and be involved in as much or as little as you wish. There
is NO required participation.
Stated Meeting is on the third Thursday of each month, except June-August (DARK)

task now is for the Divan to continue developing and implementing the 5-year plan
to the benefit of Hella. That report is ongoing with Assistant Rabban Nate Fuller
leading the way.
More so than ever, the budget is at its barest as to expenses. Each year we try to
pay for the normal budgetary items without necessitating the withdrawal of mon-
ies from our Reserve Operating Account. Although this account is created for the purpose of paying for
items when the cash flow is not available, it is not to be used on a regular basis. As with the prior year,
I will endeavor to keep the Nobility informed of Hella’s financial situation by posting on the outside
of the ballroom our previous month so all can see at our Stated Meetings. It will remain there until I
replace it with the following month’s report.
This year we are no longer in the catering business. Instead, we are focusing on rental of the building
for income. This works to cut out any expenses that we do not recoup when we cater. It will help us to
better determine our cash flow on a month-to-month basis.
I appreciate all of the Nobility who have timely paid their dues and to those who have brought them-
selves current. At this time of the year, the funds raised from the dues support the Temple more than the
rentals. We are a year out from the initial lockdowns caused by COVID and we still have issues that
keep us at operating 100% for rentals.
REMINDER, you must be current in your 2021 dues in order to participate in any Mid-Winter or
TSA functions you attend.
ANOTHER - REMINDER, all Units and Clubs are to prepare their annual reports and turn them
in to the Recorder ASAP. The reports are to be completed with supporting documentation (bank state-
ments, check register, etc.) These are required for Hella to maintain our non-profit status. With the
change of administration in January 2021, it is more important than ever to not get in the IRS crosshairs.
ANOTHER - ANOTHER - REMINDER, let’s have fun in 2021!!
Until we meet again, stay healthy, stay safe, stay Shriner Strong!!

Greetings from Shalman Temple No. 90, Daughters of the Nile.
As my year as the Queen of Shalman Temple comes to an end, I look back on a year that was
by no means what was planned or expected. It was a year of immense trials and unprecedented
world events. We have spent a year distancing ourselves from friends and family and much-
loved events and past times have been cancelled. But we made it through! I am hopeful for a
better year in 2021 and wish everyone nothing but the best.
Coming up at Shalman, we have our regular monthly session on March 3rd. This will be our elections session so I hope
to see lots in attendance. Session starts at 7:30 p.m. 2021 temple dues are now due - please pay Pr. Recorder as soon as
possible. Unit dues are also coming due, check with your specific units for how much and who to pay.
Stay safe, stay well, keep your head up and a smile on your face – this too shall pass.
DeAnna Lang, Queen

WELCOME TO 2021!!
I am ALL ABOUT Fundraising this year! We’re going to do our absolute best to collect all we can for the Hospitals and
for Hella! And, before I go too far….WE NEED YOU ON THE FUNDRAISING COMMITTEE!! We will meet the last Monday
of each month. We are looking into possibly holding some Zoom meetings, or making it so some folks can Zoom into an in-person
meeting. We want to do whatever we can to help accommodate those that would like to attend but may have scheduling issues, or
may be a 45 minute or hour drive into Hella. If you want to be part of the committee we will do all we can to accommodate you!
In our meetings, we’ll go over all the different fundraising events we will work and support from the Bucket Drive to IHOP
day to the events we’ll hold for the benefit of Hella. We are looking into other ideas for us to be able to raise some more money for
the hospitals as well. We just need to think outside the box and become creative in what we do to raise the money! Illustrious Sir
Bob Moore talked about Temples, Shrine Clubs, Units and all the other groups coming down to present checks to the hospital board.
I want Hella to wear out a path from Garland to Galveston to present checks to the board! I want our folks on first name basis with
the board.
I know we are all still waiting to see what is going to happen as far as shutdowns or restrictions go, but we also need to just
get back to as much normality as we can. Get back to coming to the events at Hella, to helping like we all did in 2019. Let’s just get
back to doing what we do…because we do that better than anyone else! I want Hella back in it’s rightful place at the top of the lists
for donations, for awards, and for the other accolades that show NOT how great WE are…but how PROUD we are for the things we
do for the kids of our hospitals! That is ALL that matters!
The Fundraising Committee will be getting out some emails to the Nobility as well as talking to you personally. We need
YOU to help us accomplish the goals we have set out for our committee. We need YOU to be a part of the team. As I said at the
Stated Meeting….We’ll get with you, we hope you’ll get with us!
Thank you and have a great month!!

Dear Fellow Nobles,
Being a Shriner has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. I love our Fraternity and all
the opportunities it affords me: To be part of a selfless, compassionate brotherhood; to improve the world and
our home communities; and to make incredible differences in the lives of children. And through it all, to have
fun!
Sharing these experiences with other good men is why we work so hard to increase our membership
numbers.
So I’m especially pleased to let you know that the all-new, revamped BeAShrinerNow.com website has
launched, making it easier than ever for all of us to bring new members into our fraternity.
Our Shriners International marketing and membership teams have worked hard to make this tool attractive, ef-
fective and very easy to use. In addition, we’ve aimed to train at least one Noble from each Temple on the ins
and outs of the new website, so if you have questions, there should be someone in your Temple who can help.
Together as brothers, we improve lives and communities, and we enjoy having fun together all the while.
I can’t wait to start using this amazing new website to help us spread the word and bring even more men of good
character into our Fraternity.
Yours in the faith,
James R. “Jim” Smith

Hella Flying Fezzes
TO ALL NOBLES INTERESTED IN FLYING OR AVIATION ....
The Flying Fezzes are having to cool their jets here in the first part of 2021. The St. Patrick’s Day Green-
ville Ave. in Dallas has been cancelled. As of the date of this writing, the Ennis Polka Festival and the Denison
Memorial Day Parades in May are still a go!! With Past Commander Jerry Reddy, Jr. in charge of the Unit,
we’re looking forward to assisting Hella and Illustrious Sir Mike Hall in any way we can and Having Fun in
2021!!
The Flying Fezzes were originally formed in 1976 to assist in transporting burned children and those
with orthopedic needs to the Shrine Hospitals. Today, we assist in raising money for the transportation fund
and help bring awareness for the hospitals through active participation in parades. However, we still look to
the skies as a unit as we continue to fly our own aircraft. Comprised of pilots, and those interested in flying or
aviation, an open invitation is extended to who wish to join us to complete our mission.
Annual dues are $25.00. The next unit meeting is scheduled for March 20. All Nobles and their lovely Ladies
are invited. Come “fly with us.” Contact Steve Eason, the Unit’s Agitated Adjutant at 469-667-4274 or email

The Camel’s Calf : Publication of Hella Shrine, Dallas, Texas Page 19The merger of Houston and Galveston Hospitals is complete. On January 18th, 2021, the hospital doors opened as Shriners Children’s Texas. Ortho patient service began in Jan with the first ortho surgery scheduled. The sports medicine clinic is opening, and the plan is to grow this program in conjunction with the Motion Analysis Center. The first Cleft Lip and Palate patients will be seen by Dr. Blackwell in Galveston during February. A Medical Director for Inpatient Rehabilitation has been hired who will begin this summer and develop the Inpatient Rehabilitation program. Dr. Bill Phillips will be the hospital Chief of Staff for Orthopedics. He comes to the hospital from Texas Children’s in Houston. Dr. Wolf and Dr. Phillips are very excited to work together across service lines where appropriate. Burn Patients will be able to utilize the motion analysis lab. A search is in progress for a Director of Research in conjunction with UTMB. This merger has taken a lot of time and effort going thru the process with the staffs of Houston and Galveston, the Joint BOG Members, Home Office Leadership and Joint Board of Directors and Trustees all smoothly working together as a tremendous team. Over 100 employees of the Houston facility have made the transition to move to Galveston. One of the reasons for this success was the cross-training of employees from both facilities over the past several months. The leadership group promoted unity for the merged facilities under the banner of TOGETHER FOR ONE MISSION. The hospital leadership formed an in-house transitional team coined the phrase TEAM TEXAS. This team developed new identification badges which are designed to be similar to the Texas flag. This move allows for more effective and efficient care. The new renovations for the hospital will provide a bright facelift to the aging facility. You will not recognize how bright and cheery the new finishes look. The hospital cannot wait to show off the new facility later this year after the COVID pandemic gets better under control. A new roof along with all new modernized elevators are in the works. Construction is currently underway in the operational facility and should wrap up this summer. A temporary certificate of occupancy for floors 2, 4 and all of the 6th floor is in place. The State-of-the-Art Motion Analysis Lab should be operational in the next couple of months after setting up and testing has been completed. Galveston Island had several large water main breaks during the winter storm so Wednesday Feb 17, only critical patient care and support areas reported to hospital due to limited water. Arrangements have been made so that water will be delivered as needed. The hospital was affected and went into Emergency Mode. The hospital has generators so when they lose power, generators kick in and take over. All hospital staff did an outstanding job for the patients. Clinics appointments were cancelled for Thursday and Friday. Registration will be calling patients to reschedule if they were cancelled. All appointments will resume on Monday Feb 22, 2021. This update is from the Hospital Board of Governors, Shriners Children’s Texas. Board Members are Jim Heisz, Bob Moore, PP and Jeff Haven.

Jamestown Shrine Club and El Zagal Shriners are raising aware-
ness for the fraternity in a unique way. They have installed a
giant metal fez in their community of Jamestown, North Dakota.
The fez is 7 feet, 6 inches tall by 8 feet, 6 inches wide, weighs
1,050 pounds, and also has a “tassel” made of 1-inch nylon rope.
The fez was made by Wrigley Mechanical, a company owned
by Blake Wrigley, Past Potentate of El Zagal. The group has ap-
plied to the Guinness World Records for the world’s largest fez
designation.
The oversized fez even gained the attention of the local media.

East-West Shrine Bowl Player Journey Panels
In conjunction with the NFL, the East-West Shrine Bowl hosted two
virtual Player Journey Panels that were attended by 2021 Shrine Bowl players.
Despite the game being cancelled due to the pandemic, game organizers still
made player selections in order to honor outstanding senior seasons.
The panelists included East-West Shrine Bowl alumni and NFL greats
Shaq Barrett, Nick Mullens, Nate Burleson, Cris Carter, Laurent Duvernay-
Tardif and Justin Simmons. The panelists discussed important topics including
career and journey expectations, and current player experience. They also con-
ducted a question and answer session with players participating in the virtual
event.
Nate Burleson, football commentator and former NFL wide receiver,
served as the moderator for the first event. Burleson said of the East-West Shrine
Bowl, “This game helped set the tone for what was an 11 year career for me.”
