[Hushed voice] The kids won, Cole. The kids. [/Hushed voice]
Indeed -- and as they should.
Pursuant to that, I was just wondering who stared whom down at the card table.

A guy by the name of Mike Kenney, Sam Schmidt was runner up. Mike donated half of his winnings back to SCC.

Very cool to hear Sam Schmidt was mixing it up and in the money. How did the drag racers do? Did you enter Dan?

Oh btw.... we will have a bunch of the kids at the our pit area tomorrow. I'm sure Timmah will keep everybody informed on this deal.

Dan was busy being the MC for the event. Timmah entered and lost to a cute girl on when he was holding "pocket Rockets" (two aces) and she came up with a straight flush on the river.... he said it was cool to lose to a good looking lady...!
It was a great event and next year we will PACK the house!!! Thanks to Brian Cory and the people at the Cannery for hosting us! Rachel, (the new director of the Charity) was very happy about the event.
