SUMMER FRENZY in York, PA

[OZ_341]

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...

I'm hoping being the countdown to Summer Frenzy is real close that someone from 225 or the vicinity of York, PA is lurking the forums. I am trying to find information regarding the actual fairgrounds and if there would be enough parking area to park a 30 foot motor-home. Do they have special RV parking? Any information would be helpful, thanks.

[Dave_222]

As far as i know 222 plans on attending. Should be a great event.
