Faster than a speeding bullet (would you believe a spitball?), more powerful than a locomotive (how about they won’t fall down in a stiff breeze?), able to leap tall buildings in a single bound (they only trip on curbs once a day). Look, out in the field, IT’S THE COMPETITORS OF THE 1999 CHOEY MEMORIAL PENTATHLON!!!!! There are only 7 weeks left before the 1999 Choey!!!! Sign-ups are from 11:30 to 12:00 on Saturday, July 17, with events starting at 12:15.

We would like to thank everyone that travels near and far to be at the Choey Memorial Pentathlon. Bloom and Matt - I, uh would uh, like to thank you fwom the bottom of my heawt fow beiwing thewe last yeaw and hope to see you bowth next yeaw (trust me, they think it’s funny).

The entry fee is $75/team if you pre-register, $80.00/team if you register after July 1. Pre-Registration works this way: 1- Fill out the entry from enclosed, 2- Place entry form in the enclosed, stamped, return envelope, 3- Write a check for $75.00, 4-put the check in the same stamped envelope, 5 - drop the envelope in the mail. IT’S THAT EASY!!!!!! Not only will you save $5.00, but ALL entry forms received on or before JULY 1, 1999 will be given PRIORITY PLACEMENT into the events requested. As always, we cannot guarantee your events, but if you pre-register, your chance of getting the events you want will increase significantly. We will only have room for 8 Wiffleball teams this year. If this is an event you want, Pre-Registration is a must. Special thanks goes out to the team last year that 1) bounced their check, 2) didn’t send back the refund check I sent them BEFORE I knew their check bounced, and 3) then proceeded to cash MY check and never paid me for the original bounced check. THEREFORE, NO REFUNDS!!!!!

For $37.50/person you each get a Kuch original T-shirt, all you can eat and drink for 2 1/2 days, a pig roast, door prizes, trophies, and lots of laughs. Of course all are welcome even if they don’t want to compete, a donation of $25.00/person is required for eats, grog, door prizes and T-shirt.

The float on Sunday continues to keep people talking all year. Since the trip is so big, we are going to have to charge $20 for rafts on Sunday. The trip will be slightly different this year. We will be using a local rafting company to supply the rafts. This should allow less problems logistically. We will again be serving sandwiches and beverages (adult and otherwise) on the river.

We will have 3 Divisions this year, Men’s, Mixed, and Women’s. Each division will have separate rankings and separate trophies. However, all teams will still compete against each other throughout the day. We still keep hope out that there will be a Seniors Division. We are ready, are you???

BeerPong is best played at night. The tables don’t melt.

Well, here is what we are going to do. This year, the Early Session will have 6 "Skill" events. These events start at 12:15 PM on Saturday. The Early events are: Horseshoes, Badminton, Wiffleball, Foosball, Darts, and GOLF. This is a change from last year. We feel that this will allow the afternoon events to move more quickly. Also, it forces everyone to participate in "fun" events. The Late Session will have 3 "Fun" events. These events start at 3:45 PM on Saturday. The Late events are: Egg Throw, Keg Throw, and Relay Race. For those of you who missed last years Relay Race, cameras are a must!!!

The raffle will start at 5:30. The auction will start at 6:30. BeerPong starts at 7:15.

The raffle will be run the same as last year. Raffle Tickets will still be priced as follows: 1 Ticket-$5.00, 3 Tickets-$10.00, 7 Tickets-$20.00, or 10 Tickets-$25.00. Each prize will have a bag next to it. Place as many tickets in the bag next to the prizes you want. There is no limit on the amount of prizes you win. As always, if anyone has anything to raffle off- PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE let us know. Any and all gifts would be greatly appreciated.

We will have an auction again this year!! Last year’s was a HUGE success. If anyone can help out and donate auction items, PLEASE CALL US!!! We should have sports memorabilia, golf clubs, etc. so….. BRING MONEY!!!

Everyone that enters of course gets an original KUCH designed T-Shirt. However, due to popular demand, you may purchase additional shirts for $5.00 (while supplies last). Hurry because supplies don’t last long!! (yeah right, we still have 2 dozen shirts from last year!!)

REMEMBER - Everyone that works this weekend is a volunteer, they deserve respect and gratitude for all they do.

Bring your friends and we’ll see you July 16,17, and 18!!!!!!!!!!
