Good afternoon! Reminder, the launch order draw meeting for the Upper Bay Open will be held Weds May 6th 6:30pm The Williamsville Store on the food side. We will draw the launch order at 7pm. The drop box, entry forms and envelopes are at the store on the half wall by tables for those who want to drop off their entries.
