Ive heard the expression “FARKLE” used. What is a “FARKLE”?
“FARKLE” stands for “Friends And Relatives, Kin and Likely Extensions” and is held at show sites to demonstrate to a team member’s family a little aspect of Thunderbird life. FARKLEs are usually given in a team member’s home state if they have family and relatives attending. It includes a behind-the-scenes look, a “pep-talk” by the Boss, a signed lithograph, some pins, and a photo opportunity with the officers at the Boss’ jet.
