Strawberry Festival

Hey, it is that time again. I thought I had posted about this previously, but seem not to have? Not sure what is up with that. :oops:

The VSG will be at the festival and would love to have some of you guys back for demo/practice like you did last year. The Park was really happy to have you there. http://www.delaplanestrawberryfestival.com/ :D

Is anyone available this weekend?

I'll be back from Hawaii then, so I'll have to run it by the Boss. Looks like a nice place to go. What's the demo/pratice include?

It is all on you guys what you want to do. They enjoyed having the guys out last year and I was not there to see what they did. You will need to bring your own equipment as I do not think Mac will be there.

There is also an opportunity if you are not in the mood for throwing, we need folks to help man the VSG booth. So, if you can look hot in a kilt (or other highlnd type garb) :mrgreen: and talk up the games, we would love to have you join us. I just need to get a list of names so that they let you in the gate and don't charge you.

4-5 of us will be there today at 10am for a practice/demo in kilts. If you have a chance, come on out! Check the festival website for directions.

How did it go? I left voice mails for Sharon to put you guys on the list, however, never heard back from her. Did you get in?

4 of us went; Tim Forrester, Mike Melia, Bryan and myself. No problem getting in, and it was a great day for throwing. bryan and I had on our shirts from last year, so we did a little advertising. A couple dozen folks stopped by at various times, and I think Bryan might have signed up a new recruit or two. A good time was had by all.
