July 4th is a friday. What a great way to celebrate our independence,
anyone interested in getting some good tickets for this game? Carpool up
there. I know and understand why we should not attend, BUT it's within
distance and it's minor league great baseball. I'll find out if I have any
connections on getting down close tickets, or would we rather sit up further
away.
Let me know...RSVP........
ok and yes I will ask David Smoak if they would like to make a bus trip to
one of the Cats games...would anyone pay for that????
