It's not a footbag event.

By the way, the title of this thread should be changed to reflect the event.

Hi Zeke!

Sorry we couldn't get back to you guys at the Gazebo. Would have been great. Sorry.

I do have some good news though... we have two paid gig's this summer that we need help with.

June 17th, Peoria "Steamboat Festival"
-I need 4 people who are willing to help do demo's and interact with festival goers as
representatives of the sport of footbag and IFPA. Fancy Footwork Productions (Chris Ott)
-Shred in the morning at the running race (10,000 people) - informal
-Three 1-hour demo's in afternoon (20 minutes on stage, 30-40 minutes instruction/interaction)
-Shred more later too if we have energy.
-4 people at $125 each
-I think you would be ideal
-You can all drive down with us in the van, or we'll meet you there if you want to drive yourselves.

July 30 - World of Games Exhibition & Instructions
-I need 4 people (need to be serious players) for a "freestyle event exhibition" (that will look like a competition)
-Those players will also be Instructors for the "Hands-on" area following the exhibition
-Not sure the pay, but probably $75 each (only a 3-4 hour commitment, and takes place downtown at Millenium)

Please call me ASAP to discuss these opportunities and who we might bring in on them.. I think you would be ideal for both events, and you know the guys better than I do. If you could let them know about this, we'll see if we can get enough people together to make this happen.
