Here we go North Bay Burners, the time is now.
With less than a month to go until the gates open things are heating up around these parts. We have a great crew heading out to build out our Midway booth and make the Freakshow happen, and we’ve also got a loving crew of people not heading out to the burn this year willing to carry on the torch and make service day happen while we’re away. Go team!
If you’re doing a satellite burn or having a get together for people burning in place this year let us know and we’ll spread the word. Otherwise I will see you out there people, the dust is calling.
xoxo RLL
