Posted by: | Comments
Because of host base availability and low sponsorship due to the economy I have decided to hold
off to next spring for the next Tournament ,I just want to make sure the Tournament remains successful
I really tried but just didn’t seem to fall together for this fall
I’m so sorry
but the May Tournament will be bigger than ever !
