Thanks, Tents, Tubas, Tickets and somthing else that starts with "T"

[Scott McKee]

Big thanks to Tony Scime, Scott Kitchen, Jim Kinner, Hope & Gary Melnyk, Mark Wozniak, Carl Schenk, Mike Fortunate, Mike Jones, Chris & TJ “L’il Hercules” Clark for helping out with the tent set-up tonight.  We erected the tent in a new location at the Rose Garden this year so we wouldn’t upset the newly manicured grove, complete with bocce ball court level grounds and beautiful hanging gardens that are paled only by Babylon’s.  Wait until you see the place!  You won’t believe your eyes!

Things are starting to shape up for the Pig-Out.  The booze basket is loaded and the raffle tables will be as well (and I imagine some of our patrons will leave that way.)  Jiggin’ Joe, Turk and Frank Miskey, Jr. will be smoking and grilling as usual and I expect nothing less than perfection from them.  The band is excited to play for us and I’m told they’re bringing their world famous tuba player this year.  You’ve never heard “Smoke on the Water” until you’ve heard a tuba play it.  During their performance I know you’ll be asking yourself, how did the Beatles, Stones, Who, Pink Floyd, Doors, etc. ever get by without a tuba player?

This is our biggest fundraiser every year.  Tickets are only $20.  Everything we make on the Pig-Out will be deposited into our general fund.  The more money we make, the more groovy stuff we can buy for raffles, the better the food can be at the Picnic and the easier it will be for the club to keep dues as reasonable as they’ve been over the years.  Please support the Pig-Out.  We've staged this beast every year to make our club better and more viable.  Get behind it.

Thanks and see you on Sunday,

Scott
