Manually Entered Results
Hey everyone. The 18th annual Funtastik Summer Classic is now history
and a wonderful memory. The 19th annual is already in the planning
stages. We were really lucky to only have a 1.5 hour rain delay on
Saturday. The weathermen called for showers and rain on Sunday and
Monday, but it didn’t happen where we were. HURRAY!! There was great
competition, many fun pickup games, shred circles, four square, a world
record of 1.4 in Super Man by Greg Nelson and a dropless amateur
freestyle routine by Nate Linscott in the final round. Pete Irish went dropless
in the pro final round up until his last trick. The skills contests proved to be
quite entertaining for the crowd and quite competitive for those entered.
And oh those d*** golf shots. Better practice them for next year. Thanks to
the service poaching celebrity judges, Brenda Solonoski, Lon Irish, Sam
Conlin, Carol Wedemeyer and Val Davidson for their expertise. Thanks to
the superman gladiators, Manu and Yves. I heard a rumor that Kenny
Shults won a four square game. Can anyone confirm that? Dillon, Joe
says you were the best music man he has ever had at a Summer Classic to
date. You have the job for next year so tell Daryl and Sunny to make their
plans accordingly. A novice freestyler, Vinny Iachini, was our youngest
competitor at 9 years old.
We hosted a Hall of Fame (HOF) Ceremony on Sunday evening at the
Appalachian Brewing Co. It was a great setting for the event. Peter Irish
was a great Master of Ceremonies. Thank you Peter. We would like to
thank HOF Kenny Shults for his participation and assistance with the
ceremony. Thanks to Greg Nelson, HOF Yves Archambault and to all the
people that came to support and welcome inductees Joe & Brenda
Solonoski, Jay Moldenhauer, Tim Vozar and Eric Wulff to the HOF. The
Beaver Open, who hosted the West Coast HOF, called several times to do
a combined toast, but had to be put on hold until Jay got through his years.
Cheering loudly after a countdown, we had toasted the inductees and
footbag all together around 9:40pm.
This tournament would not be possible without the great staff and
sponsors. Thank you to Vince Bradley, Rob McCloskey, Jack Lentz, Jamie
Lepley, Garth Smith, Dave Garber, Dan Greer, Myron Selby, Julian
Solonoski, Kenny Shults, Dylan Johnson, Steve Goldberg and Jennifer
Selby. Thank you to all of you who pitched in to move tables, put up signs,
count adds, etc. Thank you to our tournament sponsors Funtastik, Jack
Lentz, World Footbag Association, Freedom Footbags, Harrisburg East
Holiday Inn, Appalachian Brewing Co., Pro Kicker (Yves Archambault),
Jamie Lepley, City of Harrisburg Parks & Recreation Department, Kendall
KIC and Kenny Shults. Thank you to all the competitors and spectators
who came to the 18th annual Funtastik Summer Classic. May you have a
great year and we hope to see you again next year.
