Contest Results Elk Grove Village Rotaryfest

Divemaster · 05-27-2009, 05:02 PM

This one is coming up and we are thinking of doing the Fort Atkinson comp and this one back to back, and yet I haven't seen any postings on it.

Is anyone going (if not why)? I know that the entrance fee is high ($300) but it's only 18 miles from my house and we would spend the difference on gas.

So what say all of you?

Scottie · 05-27-2009, 05:11 PM

No thanks. There are better Illnois comps to support. I'm going to Snowbird instead.

My entry was only $40 since I won a raffle at the Winter Burnoff, so we'll be there. $300 is a bit steep, though.

Scottie · 05-27-2009, 06:32 PM

If you won a free entry, why do you have to pay anything? Free is free isn't it?

U2CANQUE · 05-27-2009, 06:48 PM

Man, all of these IL contests.....and gas prices going up and up and up......most likely going to get to the Lamb Farms one though....

I agree that $300 is steep, but it's only 18 miles from the house. I figure I would normally spend between $100 and $125 in gas to go to a comp so it evens out. On top of that I'm hoping to have a potential local sponsor coming by that weekend.

I bought $40 worth of raffle tickets and put them all in the Elk Grove entry pot.

So if you hadn't won, the entry fee would have been $340?

So you're the half-empty one in the group, huh?

Nope, I just figure that every one else is just using the wrong size glass...

Jeff is Ty part of your team?????

Divemaster · 05-28-2009, 08:36 AM

He is always more than welcome, but I also understand that 17 year olds often have other, how do I say it, distractions...

Ron_L · 05-28-2009, 09:06 AM

We'll be there. We won a free entry as part of last year's prize.

jpouchman · 05-28-2009, 11:46 PM

I'll be there as well. Looking forward to my second comp with my Fatboy!

Pat,

Didn't your brisket winnings in Westmont cover the 40 bucks and then some?

We'll be there
