Team 116 is interested in coming, although Im not positive we will. If rhe competition at MSF is indeed canceled(the decision isnt official yet), we probably will. Hope we can come.

[MrsT]

Mike Wade is the one bringing & running the field at our Summer Frenzy. He was anxious to do something since there would be no MD State Fair competition. I thought it WAS official....but I don't know

Ohhh....so it depends on the company??....LOL

So far NOONE has completely committed.....but there's been signs of interest from 7, 116, 341, 1123....and of course we (225) will compete too.

Maybe 859 could sign up and draw others in!

lol, no it doesn't depend on the company. I was just curious. I'll talk to the teacher in charge of us and see if he's interested in doing it.

[MrsT]

....did I mention it will be in a large AIR CONDITIONED exhibit hall????

It is at the Fairgrounds.....but not during the York Fair......it is a machine-type expo......an audience that will probably easily catch the "FIRST disease" that we all have!!

So go ahead....pencil that in.......Aug 14th - Summer Frenzy - York, PA

This is one of the many events my team is discussing attending, I certainly would like to attend, 225 has supported us with PARC for so long, I honestly wouldn't mind giving a little something back what so ever. Right now most of the Mini's we are discussing are still tenative, but hey, we did six last year, maybe we will do more this year ;-).


Peace,
Dave

Three REALLY GOOD reasons to consider attending the Summer Frenzy...

1) It sounds like it will be a great summer competition. A very good way to fill up a summer weekend. I even heard a rumor that they may make the judges wear kilts...

2) The competition will be held at the Iron Fever Expo!!! Cabin Fever and Iron Fever are the major east coast machinists and metalworking hobbyist shows. They always have some of the coolest displays and exhibits around, particularly if you are interested in machining of any type. Don't laugh this one off - the entire show will be FULL of active and retired machinists, mechanics, and engineers. Need a few more mentors or machinists on your team? This is the PERFECT place to find them, get them excited about FIRST, and sucker them, er ah, draft them on to your team before they know any better.

3)Harley-Davidson factory tours just four miles away!!!

To Ron Karpinski & Team 225:

Team 341, Miss Daisy will proudly attend Summer Frenzy!! We are excited to play the game and to support our friends on 225, York High. Mike Wade and 225 have also been regulars at Ramp Riot and we know the quality that these folks represent.

The other reason we will be attending is that MY TEAM HAS BEEN DRIVING ME CRAZY ABOUT GOING!!!.

If you need any advice, supplies or suggestions, please let us know!!

Our coach (oz_341) told us today that we were coming to summer frenzy and I really couldn't be much more pumped. this will give our seniors another competition before leaving and 225 have been great friends to us for a long time.

Having a summer event is just an awesome idea, 3 months and counting...

[MrsT]

There you've got it folks......

Summer Frenzy ENDORSED by Dave Lavery and to be ATTENDED BY Miss Daisy!
