First and foremost, on behalf of WQMX, I'd like to thank everyone who came out to Saint George Fellowship Center on Saturday to play Euchre in support of NEOPAT. We raised some money for an awesome cause and had some fun, and that's what events like these are all about!

The food and drinks were great, the venue was perfect, the rounds generally went smoothly, and many people went home with some awesome prizes like concert tickets, cash, and various surprises. We were surely happy to be there, and it seemed as though everyone else was too. In fact, we were asked countless times when the next one is going to be, so I think that speaks wonders. 

With it being our very first card tournament, there were a couple unforeseen matters in the rules and operation brought to our attention through the night which we'll be sure to address. Even so, it was nothing short of a huge success, truly. I met some great people and learned about the local Euchre clubs and competitions from Cuyahoga falls to Canton. Some of the participants are pretty serious about the game, but we appreciate most everyone understanding that this was in the name of fun and charity, and nothing more. 

On a personal level, I'm so grateful to have been given the opportunity to participate. I was a fill-in for some player who didn't show, on the Brad Paisley team. Despite losing most of my matches, it was a total blast! If I had a little more time on my hands, I'd absolutely be looking into joining a club after the enjoyment I got from being in this tournament. In total points, I think I did alright, but we'll just have to see how I stacked up against the ranks once Sarah posts the official scores here on the WQMX website. It was mildly intimidating running with the big dogs, but I did! 

If you missed out on this event and are looking to have a good time, we've got something else coming up that's likely right up your alley: bowling! It's the WQMX Red, White, and Bowl with special guest Ryan Larkins on March 16th. Find all the info on that and sign up here! 

WQMX is live and local, and we couldn't do what we do without such an amazing community of listeners. With that, as always, thanks so much for tuning in to 94.9 WQMX!
