To All,

Gobble...Gobble!   
It is with great enthusiasm and commitment to tradition that we announce:
The 26th Edition: Ultimate Frisbee Turkey Bowl

XXVI Tournament! 

(Ranked #24 in Longest Running

UPA Tournaments!) 

This year we are going 4m/3w and will have a limited field of 16 teams and two pools.

We look forward to offering all of the amenities that have been part of this annual pilgrimage so that you can play hard, eat, drink and be merry. 

Give Back to the Community:

We will also have the annual 'Food Drive' to help stock the local pantry. Last year we donated over 300lbs of food the local shelter.

Please bring you non-perishable food items. We will have collection boxes

on-site and will transport the donations to the local food Bank.

Thank You!!
