Thanks to all who came to enjoy our kick off party on 12/13/08 at the Sawmill Saloon. Also, thanks to all the volunteers who made this event happen. Dan's sister's home made chili and Dan's beans and sausage were outstanding and plentyfull. Great combination guys! - the band did a super job - as time went on, quite a few people enjoyed the fire pit - new members were recruited and some trained on the groomers - many door prizes were given away - the staff at the sawmill treated us very well - and so on so forth. All in all, the club did well and all members had a good time.
See you at our next event!
