Cornhole 09!

The day is fast approaching. Pacific Crest Half Iron is June 27. Lifetime Olympic tri here in Lake Nicomas is July 11 and my TNT season is over. What better way to celebrate the end of another great year of fund raising and racing than have one more big bash on Adams birthday, July 12!

So, if you are reading this you are invited! We will have a super fun time doing all the things Adam loved to do most.....eat and play games!

It is designed to be a fundraiser for the Leukemia, Lymphoma Societies "Team in Training," for whom I have been racing for since the summer of 07. Of course it is a voluntary fundraiser. To play in the bean bag (cornhole) tournament there is a fee (donation).
The food and drink donations are suggested. I do want to raise as much money for cancer research and family support but know that not everyone is as excited about that as I am, and not everyone is in a position to give. That's plenty fine around here.
The reason for "Cornhole 09" is to remember an amazing man, my brother Adam Prest.

So come one come all. Give some, give lots, give none, let's all just have a great day doing what he really loved to do. I will have lot's of stories about this years training and racing. There will be many of my TNT mates there if you want to talk to others about TNT.
Enough blabbing....here are the details.

When: July 12......Let's say 1:30 food and fellowship...games start by 2:30

Where: Prest house....18641 Dayton St. Dayton, MN. 55327

What to do next: RSVP by making a donation via my safe TNT web site at
http://pages.teamintraining.org/mn/pctri09/aprest it is $10 per person, so $20 per team of two. If you have a team of two leave a comment with your team name. If you are solo, great! We will pair you up. That will secure you spot in the games and help me to know how many boards to have for game day.

If you are not playing or donating please RSVP via my email at drewprest@gmail.com
so we can get a estimate on who all is coming. Yes you can show up unannounced. We want you there RSVP or not!

There will be suggested donations of $5 for a food plate and $5 for a drink cup. We will have pop, water, beer, wine and a variety of other libations.

There will be prizes for winners and loosers of the tournament.

Bean bag game sets will be available for a $110 donation to LLS
You can also make this purchase via my online donation site. Just make comment that your donation is for a set of boards and they are yours! custom paint jobs available.

One set will be raffled off. Tickets available at the party or you can get your name in via the web with your online donation. $2 per ticket.....$10 buys you 7 tickets. Note in the comment box that your donation is for the raffle and your in. Do not have to be present to win.

Most of all we want to relax and remember our friend Adam so come out and enjoy the day.
