Is anyone on here planning on going to this?

Kayden and I stopped up there for a fun pull on Sunday and had a good time. Lisa who ran the full pull encouraged us to come back for the official pull at the end of the month and encouraged me to enter Kayden in the pro class because he did so well his first time out (pulled more than enough for a title).

Not sure if I agree he is ready just yet, but we are going to work our tails off this month to try and get him ready.

Would be fun to have someone else up there I know to chat with all day
