Cornhusker State Games

We will be packing up at 8:30 tomorrow night for the State Games tournament. We will be setting up on Saturday, 7:00 am. I've only heard from a couple of people and could really use a few more. If you are available to carry and haul tomorrow night, I would very much appreciate it if you could send me a note to let me know.
Also, Sportfest and the Opening Ceremonies will take place on Friday night. It is always a lot of fun and will feature the annual skydivers as well as trampoline acrobats. Details are below. Admission is free for athletes. If you need additional passes for family members, there are some available at the club. You can pick them up tomorrow night or contact me and I will have the available at Seacrest Field tomorrow night.
Hope to see you there!
