We had a very autumn weekend of chillier temps and high winds at Frank Grimes Disc Golf Course for the 37th Channahon Classic. The final event of the Greater Joliet Tour Season saw some great disc golf and multiple playoffs. The course looked amazing, Kevin Macuiba of the Channahon Park District has been working hard out there clearing the spots for the new B Pins. The B Pins are waiting in storage and were made possible by the fundraising of the Birdie Babes, the Link crew, and the GJTS crew.

On Sunday we celebrated the birthdays of Machely Lopez and Gianna Losito, Machely brought Home Cut Donuts!
