Liz – I thought I’d send on our immediate comments about the Sea-Side Festival.
GREAT!
The passers-by on Flagler seemed to enjoy our “show and tell”, plus getting involved and having some active fun playing shuffleboard. The lights being on would be a great attraction, and I’m sure that helped to help the party on Flagler as well as the play on the shuffleboard courts. There was probably some music nearby, and that would add to the “fun” atmosphere too.
Butch Greene did a great job from our side – getting people for preparation, execution, and cleanup – a worthwhile effort from the sounds of his latest email. Some points he made:
- 19 club representatives and friends did a fantastic job, both in demonstrating our sport and in coaching a large number of onlookerswho decided they wanted to give it a try or have a lesson.
- We had 7 courts (6-12) going full blast from 4:45 to 8:30.
- The lights were on from 6:30 to 9:00 and really were bright.
- I’d be surprised if we don’t have at least 4 or 5 new members as a result of the Fiesta.
More later, but I hope this quick summary helps you to be able to prove the value contributed to the Sea-Side Festival by Coronado/Mainland Shuffleboard Club.
