IS IT BECAUSE THERE ARE MORE PEOPLE DOWN THERE, THAT MAKE U MORE MONEY, SO THE PEOPLE IN EUEGENE SHOULD CALL IT QUITS, CAUSE WE ARE ALWAYS GETTING SCRWED, WELL I KNOW OF 1 PERSON THATS NOT GOIN BACK!!!!

So the owners had to find a new venue quickly so that they could get it all set. I realize that this is a little frustrating for some of you. Just know that Coos Bay is looking forward to seeing all of you. Al

We had attempted to contact some venues to host State and we got no reply. We would like to have one hosted in Eugene, but when we were getting down to less than 2 months left until the end of the session, we were needing to find a place that was cost effective and that we could lock in so we can start the planning phase of making sure that everyone will have a great time at State again. As some news for everyone, this Fun Day we will host our first Civil War. We are still nailing down all the details, however, the winner of the Civil War WILL get to have the next State Championship held in their division! Stay tuned to the website, and we will post details once we have them finalized. ---------- Chris Alkire
