Looks great!
Thank you Jeff and all the others who are putting this together. You are great ambassadors for our sport. Unfortunately my family and I are already attending the Illinois River Splash at Siloam Springs that weekend, but we want to wish you the best and hope the festival turns out great!

Thanks again for all the hard work
