Hi guys... I have read a lot of positive posts and got just as many PM's to that effect; thank you. I apologize to those who took exception to the $3 parking fee. Confucius is right; our contract with the Expocentre was based strictly on them getting the gate. Parking was a grey area. I really do not see it as that big of deal. Tom and longtimewrestlin look me up at State and I will give you each $3 out of my pocket if it will make things right between us.

Coach Bill, we put out donuts and pastries for breakfast. At 11:30am over 1000 wings (from Hooters, Blind Tiger, and Wingmaster), 10# of meat for sandwiches, 2 crocs of chili, over 100 hot dogs, 4 large plates of fries, 50 slider burgers from the Blind Tiger, and much more. A fountain with Pepsi products was available all day.

We asked that each club working a table provide four people and we gave them each 5 floor passes. It only took three to work the table. The excess were to help as runners that were responsible for keeping their table fed. I had people circulating through the tables with water and cans of Pepsi all day.

If anything, my people were too liberal with who they let into the hospitality room…that is the only way to explain how all the food was gone by 12:00...but we wrestled our last match by 2:30, so I really don't see that as much of an issue either. You could have went to Hooters with one of the FREE coupons being cirulated on your way home and had another meal. I know there are those of you that were so opposed to the venue that no matter how it was wrapped you will still complain…I understand and can take the heat. It comes with the territory.

I hope you all had a good weekend; we did appreciate being your host. I think all three events we had were amazing. There are too many people for me to thank that made it all happen. I will open another thread to try and do that later this week. We are listening to your suggestions and will try to make next year even better! Peace and out.
