Looking for avid disc golfers to interview

I’m writing an article for Moms and Dads magazine on disc golfing. I’d like to include some “how to” stuff and some tips/advice on how to make it a family friendly sport (for those of us with old enough kids to do it!) I have a short deadline — due next Friday, so quick responses are really appreciated. Feel free to email me at jentoddderrick @ yahoo if you are interested. Thanks so much!

Chester Bowl looking for stories

The Chester Bowl Improvement Group wants to hear from people who have been in the ski program.

From Thom Storm:

We are in the process of applying for different grants for our ski program. It was suggested that we have some Chester Bowl stories/testimonials to include with our applications. I would like to take that a step further, and have a Chester Bowl Stories section on our website, chesterbowl.org.
Many parents have told me that the ski program has made a big difference to their families. If you would like to share your story, we would like to post it on our site. Please send any stories/testimonials to:
[email protected]
and include your name for the posting.

If you’ve got any historical stories, photos or artifacts, you could submit them to the Chester Bowl History page.
