River Rage - Thank you Teams!!

[Andy Grady]

Hi everyone!

Just wanted to add to the thank you's from River Rage staff...

1. Thank you to all the referees who all showed up pretty much on a notice of a day or two! We fell into a bind early in the week when our head ref had to bail out due to personal matters...fortunately we were able to overcome this with an excelent head ref and crew on short notice and they did an amazing job! THANK YOU!

2. Thank you to the queing crew...the new venue was large, but thanks you to all of you, we managed to keep things pretty much on schedule!

3. Thank you to the teams who dressed up and dressed up their robots. I especially wish we had two trophies...one for each TJ and FORCE because the Pirate and Star Wars costumes were amazing...not to mention absolutely hillarious when the sword fight ensued! It was a great moment in River Rage history that will never be forgotten!

4. Thank you to the teams in general! River Rage reached 23 teams this year, and is getting bigger and bigger! You guys made it fun, exciting, and graciously spirited...it was an amazing event. THANK YOU!

5. To all the Manchester teams who pitched in to volunteer for the event, thanks to you two, you guys are a blast to work with!

Next year River Rage will reach year 10! It promises to be a very special event. Make sure you are ready for it, because I promise you...if this year is any indication of what to expect in the future, we are in for something breathtaking!

Have fun!
