See that there is a date after Labor Day for OSS to come to Bloomington IN, Lake Monroe. Has that been approved yet by all parties or still in the planning stages?

I didn't know about this,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,may have to get my boat down for that weekend.

canceled

Got this email last nite......

It is with deep regret that I must cancel the September boat race on Lake Monroe. I would like to thank all of you for the help and support you have provided. Unfortunately we were unable to secure enough funds to make this a reality. All sponsorship monies are being returned in full and the volunteers are being notified. At this time I do not plan to pursue any future events on Lake Monroe. I believe I have something to show for the effort as I have made some great friends though this process.

Again I thank all of you.

Was looking forward to it.
But in all honesty, from someone who lives on Monroe 4 days a week/ 5 months a yr, Monore is just too small for these boats to put on a show they deserve....perhaps the lack of intrest/funding??
The pits would have been great!
