volunteers needed

We need volunteers to assist judges and keep score. No experience is necessary and working a half day shift earns you a free lunch, a commemorative t-shirt, raffle tickets for some great prizes and a seat right in the middle of the action! If this sounds like fun, please contact Susan Black at susanblack3@gmail.com and we’ll reserve a space for you!

set-up and other info

friday set up

We will be setting up Friday night between 6:00 and 8:00pm. Feel free to set-up at 6:00, but be mindful of the space we will need for the rings.
