The season is here already!  The first contest will be Sunday, April 10th at Sadler Ave.  Check in at 7:30am, for an 8am start.  We will try to keep Entry Fees down to $10 this year, down from $20 last year.

We can keep entry fees down because of events like our Silent Auction at Cafe Karibo.  Thanks to everyone that participated.  We really can't thank you enough!
