(SC) Dec. 29 The Beach Ball Classic (Myrtle Beach)

[JeffMiller]

We were invited to attend The Beach Ball Classic - a long running basketball tournament held in Myrtle Beach wherein players bounce a small Death Star shaped object and attempt to throw said object into a small netted receptacle. If said object goes through the receptacle the crowds cheer.

This was somewhat of a last minute request. They plan to ask us to come back next year, provide more notice, and would like to have more members present.

Member in attendance:
Greg French TD-4737
Jeff Miller TD-13167

Originally, we were asked to attend for about a half hour during half time and to take a few pictures with the local town folk. This was expanded as we found a lot more support for the Empire than we had anticipated.

Very cool. Awesome work guys. Looks like a fun event. You guys are really getting some events going in MB.

[JeffMiller]

We are trying. For years only Greg was here. Now that I've joined as well as Bone (Snowtrooper) - we have more opportunities...

Here are a few more photos...


Since we only had one blaster (shirt launcher) - I had to resort to old school delivery methods...


Greg with the shirt launcher - he was a pretty good shot...

Looks like you both had a good time. Great way to finish off the year trooping
