Might be a dumb question, but is there a round of golf going on too???  If so, I'd be willing to purchase a CTP pack from a new company Towch. They just want to grow their company. I attached the message they sent to me. If this is something that j-town would like, let me know.

From Towch-  That was posted prior to our 100 Towch giveaway. What we do offer is a Towch CTP pack. It's $15. You get 5 units, a banner, some decals and some mini-scrubbers. With 3 CTP markers for you to use. Give away a couple per hole or save 2 for ring of fire... We need photos from the event and it must have a fb event page to be considered. (Essentially, the $15 covers shipping.)

Yes, we play a round of 20-24 holes at around 11:00 am. All divisions combined.

We love free raffle/ctp stuff, so of course we’re interested!

You have to ask the J-Town Club for that.

Sounds like we don't need an events page as long as we take pictures. I will follow up and let you know what I can do.

I was actually thinking of putting this as an event on the J-Town page but didn't know the times and such for sure - I was even about to text you, Jesse.

J-Town Fest is part of the disc golf club, so if you would like, I can post whatever you want on the FB page. You can message me or leave it here and I will cut and paste right into an 'Event' on the FB page. Let me know.

The last message I received from Towch they said they just needed to do some confirmation on there end and we may have something setup. I don't think we need the FB page, but if we do I will let you know ASAP. I just want to contribute something to the fest.

:( this is the response I got back.

We were unable to find any events mentioned or shown for your October event. We regretfully must decline the sponsor pack without confirmation of a valid event.

I told him that I would contact him for the next event that can be confirmed on PDGA. So this time it's an unfortunate no, but I hope to still be able to get a CTP pack in the future.

I'm looking for two sponsors.

1. I need someone to buy and bring two pinatas. One for the adults to throw our discs at and one for the kids to hit. They can be small.

2. I also need 3 pies for the Gary Lewis Throw For The Pies!

Also please bring your basket if you have one.

Just received my CTP pack from Towch. They forgot the stickers and mini scrubbers, but we got the 5 towel pouches, a banner for the event, and 3 CTP markers.

I don't know how to give them out so that is up to you guys. I will get there about an hour before registration. I will bring them and we can decide on a plan.

Here is their link for anyone curious about them.
