We are looking at putting a fan bus together for the state dual tournament in Watertown on February 10th. The cost is looking like it will be approximately $50 a person. We are just reaching out to see how much interest there would be (number of seats interested in or needed). The approximate leave time would be 7 AM and return after the tournament is done, approximately 5 PM. There’s a possibility we could stop to eat on the way back. If you have interest please message Ben Hellmann on Facebook Messenger. We’re going to make a decision by the end of the week and will communicate if we do commit to putting one together.
