A little story about this years event from the event director
In 2011 we move again to another hall. This time it's Cook Athletic Association, or Cook AA or just 'The Cook' as it's known. It's a neighborhood social club that has a full gym in the back. The club has been around for 50 years providing neighborhood sports clubs a place to use. It's on a residential street and you'd drive by it 100 times before realizing it's there. Like the VFW in the past, it has parking, a bar, a kitchen, and enough space to spread out 8 dart stands. We set the room up similarly, with a welcome station to check in, the prizes and control desk across the room, the dartboards on the right wall, kitchen and bathrooms to the left, plus tables in the middle. The bar is a separate room out front. We again sell raffle tickets for a TV, iPad and an iPod. We sell 1125 before the event and some at the event. We printed 1500 this year. The big difference in 2011 is that the licenses don't get back in time to print and take tickets to the Rae Chesney/PA Open event. I've sold up to 200 there in the past and it's a great start. Unfortunately, not this year. In 2011, we're also part of an Internet radio show called Darts around the World. Ted Northrop connects us with Dave, Bones and the crew and we're interviewed down at Squire McGuire's in Philly about the event. The events seem to be going smoother. Repeat attendees know the deal. New ones catch on quick. The volunteers are really there to help move things along. People seem happy to be out, having fun and raising money. We get our first international sponsor. We connect with Nozomi over at Cosmo Darts who sends a small box of items to use. This will turn out to be a great relationship over the years as she continues to support the event going forward
