HOMESTEAD UPDATE!!! - The kitchen will be open Sunday - DO NOT bring a dish!  Thank you. 

The final race of the season is upon us and once again I would like to ask everyone in the JNFL to make their way to the Indian Valley Inn this Sunday for the broadcast of the Homestead race.  This being the 10th year of the JNFL I am proud to say I have been to every season-ending race party that the I.V. has held.  This party is always special because all of the contenders for the JNFL Championship sit together and watch their fates decided on the track while the JNFL Press takes pictures and conducts interviews.

This year will be no different.  If you are a JNFL member who has a chance at winning our cherished championship, please drop any plans you had for Sunday and haul your fanny to the bar.  Frankly, if you are a member of the JNFL you should be in attendance.  Not really sure why I feel the need to talk you into coming.  We are all crazy about Nascar and have been playing this game for 10 months now.  You are going to watch the race so come do it with the rest of your fellow JNFL members at the Indian Valley Inn.  When we started this season I put the word out that this would be a watershed event for the future of this wonderful league.  Attendance at this party and the JNFL Fantasy Banquet are basically essential to retaining your JNFL membership in 2009.  Obviously if you can't make it you can't make it, thats life.  If you don't want to come, that is a different story, and honestly, that is the kind of person that should have no business winning our trophy.

I just talked to the powers that be at the bar and they tell me that the format has not changed.  They are asking that everyone who comes the kitchen will be open so DO NOT bring any food.  There will be beer specials, raffles and side pools on top of your pick for the race.

On a special note, I just remembered that this February, the day after June and I tied the knot, we were in the bar for the Budweiser Shootout party.  Now this Friday June and I will official buy our first house and be handed the keys.  Instead of moving in we will be hanging out at the bar for the final race party.  If we can make it, you should be there too.
