Rehab Tourney

The Rehab tournement is actually not rehab at all. It is a blooper ball tournement  that happens once a year, every year. They have many different leagues competing with each other. Such as 40 and up league, orginizational, and womens softball. All the proceeds go to help fund the North West little league organization.  I have been playing in this tournement for five years now. Every year I look forward to it. It is a whole weekend event. Because of this blooper ball tournement, it has brought many generations of  families friends such as parents and kids together. When the tournement comes around every year, most people that play do not just look forward to a few ball games, but also the beer tent, karioke, grilled chicken dinners' with corn on the cob. There are many different people who go down to  the ball tournement. From moms and dads, to their kids, grand parents, as well as bums that like to collect all the cans, they can find. Which sometimes results in two bums fighting over cans. After most of the games are done a few of the teams like to camp out and start a bonfire. Many people bring their campers, tents and etc. Therefor making us feel at home, as much as possible. Also we like to set up a little tikki bar, as well. Once the bonfire is going we usually consume some alcohol and then head in to the beer tent to dance and sing karioke. Our two teams, which is the womens softball team and the mens blooperball team seem to get rather roudy. Which ultimatly creates a great time! Therefor always keeps me excited for next years tournement. This year the 40 and up team (JCPenney's) which happens to be our mens team, won! We always play for fun, however winning always helps:)!
