Lefty, Gail and I will be there with Curt and Jan Olsen, and the Rose Family. Can't wait for this weekend. It promises to be a great time, and where else can you go for just $8 a day to hear Doug, Terry, and Scotty, and other great players from our area.

Come one come all, this is going to be a great time. My reservation is already made and will be there on Friday to get ready for a great weekend.

Dennis

What time is the seminar on Friday, and how much is it?

Hi Bobby! Doug's E9 Intermediate/Advanced Seminar is scheduled 3-9 p.m. Friday, February 22 and the cost is $60. At this point, we are at capacity with 17 signed up but there could be a cancellation. Do you want me to notify you if space opens up? ...Lefty

Yes, Please, and Thank you.
If one opens up, I'll definitely take it.
