Happy Birthday!!

We had the chance yesterday to be part of a great birthday party. Even though it was hot, a great time was had by all. Since there was limited shade in the yard, we set up in the driveway, through the garage and back onto the patio. It was a unique opportunity to set up the course and it worked out great. Plenty of shade and a chance to play both indoors and out.

Iowa Ren Fest

Over Memorial Day weekend we took part in the Iowa Renaissance Festival (and Gathering of the Celts) in Middle Amana, IA. We used our wooden course to stay in the Renaissance theme. Wooden golf clubs and wooden golf balls helped to complete the historic illusion. The weather was excellent (although a little on the warm side on Saturday and Sunday) and the crowds were good. Many were surprised to see a miniature golf course at a Ren Fest event, but they soon saw how it fit into the theme and they quickly got into the spirit. A hearty "Huzzah" to all the Ren Fest attendees.

Tanager Summer Fest

We had a great time at the Tanager Summer Fest yesterday (despite a late arrival by a thunderstorm). They put on a great festival and we were proud to be a part of it. We had a very large crowd (see pic) and it was a fun time for all. We were pleased at how our course held up to the numbers and how it held up in the rain as well. We hope to be a part of this event from now on.
