Woods Guide Service, a pair of white water rafting tickets from Magic
Falls Rafting Co. and an overnight stay at the Marshall Inn in the Forks.
The Colebrook Kiwanis Club will had their cook shack going during the day
grillin' burgers, dogs and fries.
The Colebrook Fire Department was available to wash vehicles before leaving and
got called to duty when Lucas Leighton's truck caught fire.
The 'Hitch Bitchs' did an excellent job.
Jaime and Collette stayed busy selling soda and T-shirts.
Thank You to the skidder operators and to Nelson Boire Trucking and Dan's
Construction for the skidders.
The Bear Rock crew's truck caught fire so the only thing left to do was crush it
with the skidder.
Tom O and Mr.Mike were on air from 11:00 to 2:00 on 105.1 WTOS and also made
announcements and judged the first round. Thank You.
Pit Boss, Chris, was in charge of alcohol consumption Friday night and the Pit
on Saturday.
Jan, Crystal and Lisa sold 50/50 tickets but waited until the end to tell the
winner they had to go get their mud soaked cash IN the pit.
A very dirty Slip-n-Slide.
