10hrs of cold

Local Football in February, What could be better. While the Bears haven't played for the last month 12 or so teams braved the cold on Feb 2nd for the 4th annual Numb Thumb Snow Down. The NTSD is an all day flag football competition with a chance for a nice payoff. Yesterday around 12 teams took part of what culminated to a 10hr flag football frenzy. Whats not to like, there was Football, Food, Friendship and a Fee? But hold on a sec whats fun about a Fee. While the fee was minimal the results of the money collected is truly huge. All proceeds from the Tourney go to fund Oswego Presbyterian Church's Youth Group in their trips to aid the underprivileged and homeless. So whether it be handing out gloves on Broadway in Aurora or building homes for Katrina victims down south, the participants will be happy knowing they're contributions go to a good cause.
The man behind the fund raiser Youth Pastor Sam Perkins.
