Alright we are down to a few days. Just a friendly reminder that we only take cash. There is an ATM at the Moose. If you join us on Saturday I only have 2 co****le sets so please bring your set if you have them. The tournament could take awhile if we only have 2 sets. If you don't want to play co****le consider joining us at the Moose for a bonfire. Also Saturday night there will be a band The Radio Face Band will be playing from 7pm-10pm. So bring your dancing shoes. They will be in the main room. Then of course the main event is on Sunday. We are hoping to be set up and ready to start sign in by 1100. We will have the raffle baskets, silent auction item, and 50/50 drawing. We will have pork from Rub B Que and fried chicken. Looking forward to seeing and trying the many side dishes that you bring. Have a great week and hope to see you this weekend!
