BILLBOARD

"Being associated with the Big Rock and working with you and your staff is
incredible and my pleasure!"

-Steve Goione, Artist

-Artist, Steve Goione will once again offer an original piece of art for the 51st Annual Big Rock tournament. I am really happy to have Steve back! He has a wonderful personality and everyone enjoy's their time with him. He is working on new black and white editions of his art (above) and will have something in this genre during the tournament.

-The Big Rock board of directors will meet Friday, Jan. 30th for the first meeting of 2009. The meeting will consist of charity discussions, parking issues in Beaufort, sponsor updates etc. We are always working to make the tournament better. If you ever have ideas or changes you would like to see, please let me know. I mean really, this tournament is for YOU!

-Beaufort parking during the tournament has become an issue once again. A new task force has been assigned to help the Beaufort Town Council make decisions regarding this ongoing dilema. Among your allies are me and Cynthia Barber of the Barta tournament. We both promise to work hard to defend our participants.

-I had a nice conversation with Richard Crowe today. He is in great spirits, and sounds a little itchy to get back to the coast! He is continuing to do really well and very thankful for everyone's prayers and thoughts.
