A big thanks to everyone who came out and participated in this year’s TrashFest! It was another great event. We had 69 teams register and 62 teams actually participate.

After the awards, nearly $39,000 in door prizes were handed out. This year we found some silly ways to hand out prizes. Greg from DiveBuddy.com said I should say "beer" instead of "0". At first I thought it was stupid, but I gotta admit it ended up being a lot of fun! I also handed out a few prizes to the person who could get Todd and me a refill on our beers. I think more was spilled than actually made it to us, but it was a hoot!
Overall, I couldn’t have asked for a better event. I’ll be scanning in the newspaper articles and uploading the few pictures that I took soon. If you have any good pics, please email them to chairman [ at ] trashfest.net . Or if you have a lot please email me and I’ll figure out how to get them from you!
We have about 30 shirts left. Especially XL, Youth M and Youth L. If you want to buy a shirt, let me know!
Thanks!
