August Updates

I canโ€™t believe it’s already August! It wonโ€™t be long now until Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas time.

So, whatโ€™s new? We have acquired a couple of outdoor fans to help circulate the air and keep mosquitos at bay. Though Iโ€™ll probably spray for the bugs if they get too aggressive. Iโ€™m thinking that this weekend will be a dry run in that weโ€™ll get the tables and chairs all set up, the fans going, the wall mounted demo board hung, and the boards setup. Weโ€™ll play some games too, donโ€™t worry!

Also, since playing on the large board with big pieces in Galveston about a week ago, Iโ€™m mulling over investing in the pieces and building an outdoor board out of brick or tile. Oh, and maybe having a banner made to hang up too. Something the club could bring along to away tournaments.

I was also thinking about a little sign or QR code to put by Gus (our Gorilla mascot). All sorts of folks come by for pictures when we decorate the 2000+ lbs concrete Gorilla ๐Ÿฆ for various holidays and events. Maybe theyโ€™ll play a game or two. Maybe itโ€™ll be you.
