Remembering Alpine Follies III

To say the least, the Alpine Follies gets more fun every year! This year topped them all with all new sick challenges, a ton of teams, amazing and creative costumes and team names, DJ action from Jeff Peabody and an all together party vibe. It's pretty much the one time of year where just about anything go's and we let loose. This year's event did us proud. It was flat out a great time and I say this after every year now..."I CAN'T WAIT 'TILL NEXT YEAR!"

We had some fancy trophies to give out for Follies Winner, Weakest Link, Best Name, Best Costume, Best Whipeout and I would say that the teams that won these trophies EARNED THEM.  Everyone gave their all with competing and being creative with costumes and names. This was a strong bunch of competitors!
