Sunday's Demonstration at the Peoria Erin Festival was a Blast. Great weather and a fun crowd turned the demo into a great day for Personal Records. We did not have enough athletes for a competition, so we posted a challenge for PR's. We printed PR certificates for anyone achieving a personal best throw and our announcer Norm Woods, made it known to the crowd just what was going on.

Chad Braden put on a great show for us all, throwing a 123' light hammer, 101 heavy hammer and 78'9 #28. I think Chad gets power from the crowds, I challenged him to finish the Demo with a 125 pound, 18' Caber toss. Chad nailed a 12:00 ending the demo, and beginning the pouring of free beer.

I gave out 9 pr certificates, Three to Jeff Berkler who had a great day, along John Moore, Ian Moore, Jason Clevenger, and Joe Terry. I had a personal best for the most Guinness drank in one sitting, and one of the worst sun burns I have had in a long time.

Thanks to everyone
