David,
I assume you are referring to the Championship Tournament in
December. The regional tournaments are being held now.
Since the Championship Tournament is spread out over two days, there
will be time for teams to do things between events. The activities
referred to are classes, demonstrations, and other events designed
to both entertain and educate FLL team members during the times
they're not competing. For example, some of my colleagues are
presenting an introductory computer science activity. The activities
are open to team members only.
You'll be able to register team members for the activities beginning
on the 19th.
There are also local community activities that anyone can attend,
and these will eventually be listed under the Activities for Teams
and Family Members tab. For example, the City of Harrisonburg
holiday parade takes place Friday night, Dec 7th.

Hi,
This is my first time going to the Regional Tournament. Can
someone explain what these activities are? Are they supplemental
to the actual competition? Are these just for team members, or
do accompanying parents and siblings participate? I just don't
seem to see any information about this on the website other than
"Activities
for Parents and Family Members (TBA)" which I'm not
sure if it is the same thing Nick is referring to.
