Great blog post and promotion for SSTIKS! One correction, the kids track– you can’t literally leave your kids and pick them up later. There are kid centered classes and we welcome parent support. In fact the whole event happens and happens inexpensively because everyone helps out one way or another. It really is a lot of fun! Thanks again Paul.
Thanks for the comment. I spoke a bit loosely, you cannot just set ’em and forget ’em. Still, the kids track provides hours of fun for the kids and a chance for parents to get out on their own. By the way, I’m scheduled to help out on the kids track myself this year 🙂
