Hopefully a few of us will be able to stop down and see how it turns out!

Yeah, I wondered about that after reading that you guys are attending IRI. I'm glad the team is attending IRI this year, though, and hope you all have a great time and help stir up some great competition!

It would be awesome if some of you could come stop by. The teams that participate in the Showdown would love that, I'm sure.

It's difficult to get a new off season off the ground in an area of the country that doesn't typically do off seasons. I'm sure in a few years, we'll all look back at this effort as a huge learning curve for the teams and for a corporate sponsor that is daring to jump on in and take this on, esp. in the middle of NI Week.

If anyone wants to volunteer and would like to know some of the positions we have available, please feel free to contact me via pm. We'd love to have you on board.
