Its will be fun and both pros and non pros can enter. If you have any questions please contact the two numbers on the bottom of the flyer or contact me (I am the Vice Pres of the club). If you guys are living within our area and are interested in joining the club please let me know I will get you the meeting times and place (normally held in Lake Jackson) so you can come to the next meeting this month.

Am I missing the fine print that says winners will become rich and famous?

WHAT :shock:

They didn't add it to the flyer, man I will call them right away and see if we can get it in there, but it is most likely to late for this year. So maybe NEXT year if you win you could become rich and famous, this year it seems you might be out of luck
