All Signed up, start practicing your rap gig Charles!

I'm in.

[Craig Butler]

Just got off the phone with Andy and he says there's only a few Pro spots left and he's optimistic the Pro side will fill by noon hour. With the FLW event across the border the following week and the fact that the Kingston Open filled last year with a waiting list, there should be no reason why both sides won't fill within the next 48 hours.

[Phill Harrison]

Only a couple more now....

[Ken_Boyd]

[chad_wentzell]
