Thur - Copper Hills Places in Each Event!

Today the games began at 8:30 am with "Washers" so there was no sleeping in for us.
The first round pitted Gary against me (Pam) so we knew one of us would go on to round two.  It happened that my partner, Smitty, and I went on to the next round, but lost to Mike and his partner.

Mike was in the final 3 teams so we knew he would get an award.  As it was he and his partner came in second place so Copper Hills won their first award!

The next game was "Sequence" and we had quite a few members make it through the first two or three rounds.  Shirley came in 3rd place so we now had our second award of the day! 
The last game of the day was "Cribbage Doubles."  Again, we had several members make it through the first few rounds but Gary and Verna ended up playing for the championship.  Verna took 1st and Gary took 2nd.  Our winning streak was continuing!
 
At the opening ceremonies in the evening we had our chapter members sitting together while Gary and I got ready to present the chapter flag.  Verna, Susie, Mike, Mike & Dave can be seen here.  Randy & Shirley were coordinating some of the activites (they are on the state staff) and Kelvin was helping sell the 50-25-25 tickets.  She and I have volunteered to sell them each day as some of the state staff was missing.

Gary and I had a chance to say something about Copper Hills when we presented our chapter flag. 

During the program tonight some additional prizes were awarded.  Mike & Susie won a gift certificate to a local restaurant and Dave & Verna won a $25 certificate to Camping World.  We hope to keep up the winning ways at the games tomorrow!  Wish us all luck at "31", Cribbage Singles, Zilch & Mexican Train!
