In just 24 short hours the madness will unfold. Vendors will arrive as will fraggers in a panic. Trying to set everything up for when the doors open just a short time later. As the crowed enters their eyes widen and jaws drop at all that has come together to make this event unbelieveable! Corals from several states, as well as vendors, prizes laided out across 6 tables and sellers holding a cup of coffee with blood shot eyes. The Frag Fest begins!
The only thing left to do is take out a low interest loan so you can buy everything you need.

And when this is over I will be board, I could help you guys if you want
