MCBT at Poplar Plaza - almost enough shirts for pre-orders...


26 August, 2011
It looks like the nice new green shirts are 30 short on one size for the pre-last-order folks.  Frustrating, we were sure the order was accurate, but every box seems to have a little different count for a given size.  We will have some other sizes for anyone who pre-ordered and did not get their size - and we have some of the prior year shirts to help with sizing for the ride.  And if necessary, we will follow up with another order to get what you were promised in the early bird registration.

Regular price tickets available


22 August, 2011
We appreciate everyone riding and helping the agency.  If you have not paid, please do so today (the discount expired). Once again we are thrilled with the your enthusiasm!  Registrations are on track or ahead of prior years.  The Hightailers have done a great job. Almost all early registrations were paid online. A small number registered and delivered payment before the Early Bird Price cut off. ...which only leaves a few who signed up and still owe for their now regular price tickets. As soon as we all pay, the happier we'll all play.  ...
