2008 EAST-WEST Youth Action Club - “Hot Summer Nights” Huge Success CHALLENGE West defeats East again... The 2008 East—West Challenge was a great success with the West side victorious. YEA, West! Captains Alan Pace (West) and Neil Wright (East) did a fantastic job ensuring all participants had a great time. The Pot Luck Dinner on Friday and the Barbeque on Saturday provided by the Lodge were exceptional (what fantastic cooks we have at Lake Kiowa). The highlight of the tournament was when Captain Wright made good on his promise of “going in” in his Blue Speedo if the East lost. The picture tells all. Good job, Neil. Next year’s captains were announced and they are: West – Brent Reed and East – Tom Blackwell. This is a fun and exciting community tournament that creates a lot of super competition. Sign up early next year and join in the camaraderie and fellowship. Everyone knows that you cannot enjoy a fl ick without some popcorn, a soft drink and a candy bar of some type.
