I'll be there. This will be the 1st IAF tournament in NY in awhile. Hopefully everyone will make an attempt to support Kevin and come out and pull. The 1st event with a new venue and it is important to make a good showing so they will want to do it again. See you all there.

what the hell is the matter with Masters, Kids and Teens.

[Anthony Snook]

Don't forget the Young-vs-OOOOOOOOOOld, if its still on?

[Kevin Siska]

Jean,
This is my first time running a tourny and I just wanted to keep it simple this time. Next tournament and all future ones I plan on including kids/teens/and masters.

Snook,
Yes it is ON. Young Gunz vs Old Pro's or whatever they are calling themselves. This team event is producing some excitement for this tournament. Also, I heard ALOT of canadians will be in attendance for this tourny since it is under 4 hours from them. Also, found out a few people from Ohio and Buffalo/Rochester area will be coming too. So far looking good.
See ya soon!

I'll be in Lake George for that weekend, wish I could make it!!

[Chris Gangi]

I can't be there either.....they changed my schedule at work and now I have to work that saturday.....

[Kevin Siska]

Too bad you can't make it. You will be missed.
And Starky, Lake Goerge is only 40 minutes from the tournament. Tell the wife you have to run to the store for a few hours! HA

Enjoy lake george.

whos going Kevin.
Anyone from Up north or different ?

[Kevin Siska]

so far I have gotten confirmations from pullers from Buffalo/Rochester area, Tupper lake, and I'm expecting a good turn out from the canadians as well. And of course the usual from NY, PA, CT, MA, VT, and NH. The team event is creating some excitement for the 176 class. Also getting a ton of calls from novices that have never pulled before mainly in the Albany area. I hung up a ton of flyers in the gyms, and local stores. Should be a good one. The venue is outstanding! Great location with good food and a ton of beer selections. Red Bull girls will be in attendance as well!

I really was hoping to come & ref, but the wife said unless someone in that area can pick me up, I'm beat!!! We are going up with her parents in their truck to save money so I will be without wheels, that's where I stand. Ken McKinney lives around the Lake, maybe he'll pick me up...hint hint!! ;D
