Title: Teams going to Vernon... Predictions anyone?
Post by: vicpaddler on July 22, 2007, 09:40:36 AM

      Anyone have a full list of the teams going to Vernon? I've heard that Pacific Reach and Gorging Dragons will be there but are any of the other "big dogs" going? Predictions anyone?

I heard there were 38 teams registered.  I haven't seen a list anywhere though.  Hard to predict when no one is sure who will be there.  I'm sure it will be fun though.

From Calgary, I know that the Calgary Race Club and Scotia Spitfires will be in Vernon, along with a few other teams from here.

Hey all - looks like it will be a great time in Vernon - can't wait!

We'll be collecting donations of non perishable food for the local Salvation Army Food Bank at our Athlete's Tent at the festival site - feel free to donate if you can, it'll be delivered Monday on our way out of town.  See you all in Vernon!

Wow is right!  There are definitely some strong teams competing in Vernon this weekend  :shock: (in no particular order):

Crew Yahoo
Gorging Dragons
Pacific Reach
Para Huti Huti
Top Made Fusion - TDBC

Just to name a few, ... and I'm sure I've missed a number off the list that should be there as well.  From the looks of it there will be some memorable battles on the water, and a whole lot of fun off.  I believe the beer bong is being packed as we speak. :Cheers:

***delete, delete, delete***... they've had a few names depending on sponsorship. ***delete***
I've been informed that Without Warning doesn't want anyone to know who they are, don't tell anyone I said that, especially their coach  :wink:
