FLYBALL,
INC September
5th & 6th, 2009 T.
North Pavilion –
Hello everyone and thanks for entering the Flyball, Inc.
“Twisted River Run 2009 Flyball Tournament".
Flyball, Inc. is very proud to be hosting its' first ever U-FLI
tournament over what looks to be a beautiful Labor Day Weekend! Our team
is looking forward to spending this holiday with all of you and we
really appreciate your support this year!
This year’s tournament will be just one racing lane and our
head judge is Todd Morningstar. Crating is outdoors on the sides of the
arena with plenty of grass and shade available, or across the street.
Motor homes may park overnight, across the street from the arena,
but please do not park in the restaurant parking area. We do ask that
everyone be considerate and conserve space during set up so that all
participants have room. Our site will have electrical hookup for
RV’s/campers, etc and there will be electric available for fans and
power for the day use around the arena.
Bathrooms (no showers) are available on site.
Crating behind the arena is for Flyball Inc. team members only.
Please be mindful of the walking/jogging trail that runs along the river
and through the area where teams are set up and do not let your dogs off
leash at any time except when racing.
The local restaurants will be providing menus and phone #’s
which we will post in our hospitality room, some will even deliver to
you at the arena! Saturday
morning, be sure to visit our hospitality room for fresh donuts, coffee
and apples, our treat! We will also have popcorn and cotton candy this
year thanks to teammate Mike Burger. There will be a limited number of
T-Shirts for sale for $15.00 with every entered clubs’ name printed on
the back. Be sure to get yours early! Also on Saturday from noon til 4pm
for the ladies (and the men) be sure to make time to visit the Mary Kay
booth located on site for a free facial from Julia and also to pick up
any products you like. We decided to try something different with our
raffle this year and have simplified it to offer everyone the chance to
win gift cards rather than traditional baskets. Tickets will be sold at
the T-shirt table and the drawing will be on Sunday at 3 pm.
This year, Flyball, Inc. will be hosting a pot luck dinner
shortly after racing finishes on Saturday. We will provide the
"award winning" tasty pulled pork as the main dish and we
request that everyone bring their favorite recipe side dish to share to
make this meal one not to miss! As always, we are planning a fun-filled
Saturday night, should you choose to hang around and join us.
We‘ll be having a special guest DJ playing your requests during
racing Saturday and Sunday and after racing Saturday night, Come dark,
we will be dancing to your favorite tunes in the arena, popcorn
provided! So bring your
sense of humor and your favorite drink(s) and enjoy the evening with us.
Racing will begin at 8 am Saturday and 8:30 am Sunday.
Measuring will take place on Saturday between 7:30 and 7:45 am.
Warm-Ups will be 2 minutes from the time the previous team
removes their flyball box. We
