Darin Johnson congrats to you on the great honor of The Gary Lewis Achievement Award,

BTW I have confirmed with DJ about the beer, one Miller Lite and one Sam Adams Oct.

Yes I will pick up the difference in what they planned No problem  they are great to put this event on and included me even when I didn't play regularly due to working Wednesday's for many years.

Remember no outside alcohol allowed, but bring jello shots, or Jack kidding.

Life is to short, so its an honor to add a little to everybody enjoyment at a great outing that Jesse and Darin put on annually, thanks

I have enjoy being part of this disc golf community for 29 years and I have many people to thanks for my enjoyment.  I can only wish I had been more helpful over the years.  I showed up many times when I should not have play and had a great time anyways, sorry if you were my partner and I wasn't at my best.

Thanks

Thanks to Gary Lewis who was there from the beginning and always encourage me to keep playing.  Their were many others I owe thanks to also.

What a fun day! Thanks Jesse, Darrin & the huge crew that helped. I think of the stress it put on the family members & they were all solders! It's a tremendous effort to put everything together! Some of the food was cooked before it was brought out. I wonder what that kitchen looked like. Everything was awesome!!!
