Offsite Activities
Patio Dinner
Washer Toss Tournament and Hospitality Night
Who is ready to unwind, socialize and play in the AMA Washer Toss Tournament? Pre-registration was required for Washer Toss. Your partner for the tournament will be picked at random. It will be up to you and your new teammate to avoid walking the plank (single knockout) in hopes of winning the treasure! Don’t worry this event will not interfere with the offsite activities, dinner or the hospitality suite. In fact, it will enhance the day with free, competitive entertainment. Those that are not interested in competing are encouraged to bring a lawn chair, enjoy the bonfire and cheer on your municipal colleagues. Perhaps we can get enough of a crowd to start the wave! Thinkdox is kindly sponsoring this event.
