Big Thalia Surf Contest (Take 2) - This weekend

I was once again reminded by my faithful reader Kim Thacker that the Surf contest from last weekend was postponed until this weekend and will be held down at Thalia. This will be held one on Saturday or Sunday...depending on wave conditions. Run on down and say hello to Kim and thank her for reminding me again!

Once again, have a great weekend, and if you see me wandering through Laguna in my little grey Subaru, please say hi! Cole
