Kyle, Hate to say it but it actually sucked, i had two armwrestling events going on during the same day, the Salinas fair and a bike event... It amazing me how some people just don't listen to free advise, location, signage, visibility, promotions and weather is a key factor for an outside event... After debriefing with my son (partner)....There were several elements that detoured people away from the venue location … 1) There were signs saying no one under 21 allowed in this area…a freaking bar area that was closed 2) There were no directional sign for this special event 3) That venue area had not been opened in the last 20 years so your it reflected on the captive audience 4) There was a serious wall blocking people blocking the venue area 5) They did not help promote in the local area 6) And of course mother nature, pullers who travel experience bad weather in their area Doubt if we'll do it next year.... Up next is Patterson, this is a 41 year old event and is actually fun, armwrestling in the main attraction.... more info @ www.napsport.com |

sorry to hear that, bill. i was actually in monterey all weekend and was planning on sliding through for a little "way-out-of-the-way" detour on my way back to sacramento. things carried over and i couldn't. i'll see you on the 4th, though - for sure. make sure to save me a xl event shirt! lol.
