35TH ANNUAL TEXAS CHUNK GUN CHAMPIONSHIP CANCELLED!!!
I've been agonizing over this call all day, but Marc and I decided to cancel the Chunk Gun State Championship this year. What finally was the deciding straw? We are getting old, I'm 68 and Marc is 62, and we are the young guys. Schools, Restaurants, athletics are closing down to curb the infection. It appears to be working in the USA, but I fear not in the world. Like I read somewhere "We won't know if we over-reacted, but we will surely face the consequences if we under-react.
Please share this notice.
