What a weekend!

June 8th, 2008

I was actively doing things almost the entire weekend, so no full blog post. But the Amazin’ Race was GREAT on Saturday, and there is already a blog post about our team available at the Downtown Neighborhood Association’s blog. Check it out!

Time for me to go to sleep. Blogging will resume again soon.

Elgin’s Amazin’ Race

June 5th, 2008

So I’m on a team for Elgin’s Amazin’ Race, but we have two open spots! Any readers out there want to join us? I’d need to know your name, age, and t-shirt size by tomorrow. Also, you need to sign a waiver and pay about $13. E-mail me at jessica.elgin@mac.com if you’re interested. It’s going to be a blast and all proceeds go to the Elgin Youth Scholarship Fund.

Here is the Amazin’ Race information from today’s Courier:

Elgin will host its own “Amazin’ Race” on Saturday complete with clues, roadblocks and detours set up around the downtown. Teams will meet at noon at Elgin Public House, 219 E. Chicago St., to find clues leading to the next location. The race wraps up at 4 p.m., when the winning team crosses the finish line. Some stops will feature challenges like those on the reality TV show. Fourteen teams are registered, and space still is available. Registration ends Friday. First prize is a basket full of prizes. Proceeds will benefit the Elgin Youth Scholarship Fund. For more information, contact Greg Bruggeman at (847) 531-7007 or at Bruggeman_g@cityofelgin.org.
