This year's format will be the same as last year. Arrive at 11:00am, have a Smithwick's (or several) with lunch.

A short video from Expect Miracles Foundation (EMF) will be shown, followed by remarks from EMF staff and longtime supporter Chris Goff in the pub at 12:15 PM as we celebrate this year’s charity partner, Expect Miracles Foundation.

The shotgun start will begin promptly at 12:30 PM.
