Looks like this could turn into a great yearly event to support TARC. For those who don't know, TARC is the group which provides services for children with special needs. Wonderful thing that they do, so lets do our part, show our support, and make this event really show them what we are made of.

Please keep checking this thread as it will be added to weekly. This will be a great event.

Thanks. We will be looking for lots of help in coming weeks to build the course.

If anyone has a Bobcat or equipment that can be used to move dirt piles and logs, please let me know. Or, if anyone has access to equipment.

Getting lots of good feedback. Excitement is building!!

A coruse next to Cypress? cool! Give us a little notice on when and I will try to be there.

I'll be updating the thread as info comes available. We have permission to setup next to North Cypress for the event. We're still rounding up resources and putting together ideas from several folks from around the region.

Please note that the Jeep Pull Teams have been changed to 4 member teams. This will make it more interesting!!
