The SW Region Marble Run will start on April 1, 2009 and will run until the party on October 3, 2009.

If you have never done the Marble Run, why not give it at try. Simply buy a book, ride to the bars listed at the bottom of this email, spin the wheel for a marble color. The marble color will be written in your book & the bar with stamp the book to prove you were there. Value of the marble is unknown until the night of the party. You then tally your points, turn your book in and the winner is determined.  (6 Place winners)

Books are $10 each and you have all summer to do the run. Book will admit you to the party which will be held at the American Legion in Highland. If you plan on bringing a date to the party, you may as well buy a book for the date because without a book, it will cost $10 to get into the party.

Marble Run books will be available at the March ABATE meeting.
