Hello, fans! We must send our State Wrestling ticket orders soon and hope to send the order by Dec. 2nd. Cindy Smith is taking the the money, and she is graciously sending in the order. $36 gets you tickets to all boys sessions for one person. We should be able to get more people than last year since we were limited, but many unknowns are still present. I’d recommend ordering tickets for yourselves and any family who might be interested. I imagine you’d be able to get any extras sold. Last year, over 150 people bought tickets (we were then limited), and maybe this year we can have the biggest crowd we have had. It’s going to be a great year! You may reach out to Cindy Smith or Keaton Gracey if you’re interested. Thank you!
Here is the Weekly Whippet Calendar Update for November 18th through the 24th!
