Even if you don't play, come on out an watch a good day of fun. Tommy, Robert, Zach, Shayne, myself and many employees of NOC have work really hard to bring this event to the southeast. Lets show some Southeast Love and cheer on your friends in this area.  Hope to see all of you this weekend.

Thank you,
Daniel Dutton
