The first tournament of the year is in the books. Thanks to Rock Outdoors for hosting the Friday evening meeting and providing the meal! We had a great time there.
Pastor Peter Touchstone gave the message about how we shouldnt procrastinate receiving and following Christ!
The tournament blasted off to cool windy morning, but some guys realy figured the bite out!
