The Youth Super Bowl is coming on November 13

This morning I sent in a pre-registration for our group to the 2009 Super Bowl Youth Extravaganza in Springfield, Massachusetts. We've gone several times over the past twenty years and the kids have always had a blast. We meet at the church at 5:00 p.m. and then head north to Springfield for a pro hockey game. It seems the Springfield Falcons always win when we show up and its always an exciting game.

After the game there is a youth rally right in the civic center. A speaker comes in and gives a short message about Christ and his importance in our lives. Then there is a time of fun as the crowd gets opportunities to go down and participate in various activities on the ice. Prizes are awarded, t-shirts are given out and eahc group gets a chance to have someone represent them in one or more of the games.

At midnight we head out to a local bowling alley and try our luck with the flashing lights and continuous contests for the next two and a half hours. Pizza is brought out and served and soda is flowing freely the whole time.

At about 3:00 a.m. we head out and make our way to a roller rink. The fun conitnues until the dawn arrives. Then we head back home again and try to find a pillow to lose ourselves in for a few hours.

The night is a blast and it only cost $39 for the entire evening. If you are interested in going, please let me know We have to give them a count by November 2nd
