Chris Reindl of Reindl Powerboats has just donated a 1/2-day race school in a Batboat at any of the APBA Pro Events.
I have also confirmed that we will have OSO gear to be given away; and I am working on others.
Everyone with a paid admission will be eligible for these door prizes. Each person will receive one door prize ticket. Additional door prize tickets will be available for a small fee. I still need to work out the details.
We have over 60 people confirmed and many more coming. Richbrau Brewing Company in Richmond, VA, has set up something great for us. Based on a 100-person attendance they are going to have a set aside area for all of us, for about 3 or 4 hours, on Saturday, February 1st. I have yet to nail down and finalize all of this, to include a time, but this is based on ALL OF YOUR RSVPs. They are giving us the entire West Wing of their establishment, with 3 pool tables, totally to us for the reserved time slot. After our reserved section ends around 9pm, the entire establishment is at our disposal including the restaurant, nightclub with dance floor, more pool tables, and several bars. We are planning on the cover charge to include "heavy hors d'oeuvres" which means it should be enough to fill up on; (fruits, veggies, cheese, jumbo cocktail shrimp, buffalo chicken wings, seven layer dip and chips, and a slab of slow roasted round with our own carver serving). As like last year, drinks and any individually ordered items would be on your own tabs. This worked great last year. For some of you, this will be a haul, but this will be ABSOLUTELY worth the effort of the drive. If this is not enough incentive to come, given my other offer to pay for the 3 farthest travelling OSO members in attendance, I don't know what is.
