AUGUST 2002
15th Annual Western Oregon Boomerang Roundup
August 24th
The 15th Annual Western Oregon Boomerang Roundup will be held in Salem,
Oregon on August 24th at the McKay High School Soccer Fields.
Registration begins at 8:30 and events begin at 9:30. There will
be a
minimal registration fee to help defray expenses.
This tournament is normally held in July, but with World Cup being
held
in late July and me gone on vacation for most of June and early
July I
thought it would be better to move the date back and avoid conflict
with folks heading to Germany early.
A good time is guaranteed for all!
