Stay and party with us under the stars with music, cups, some special shenanigans for our 25th Anniversary Celebration, and of course Wild Rose Beer. Always a good time.

Sunday, June 27, 2010

The results from Saturday are used on Sunday to seed an elimination-style tournament. You are guaranteed two games and will play up to 4 to get to the final.
