LAST WEEK TO REGISTER FOR ILYA INVITE WITHOUT LATE FEE!!!

We are well under way in planning and preparing for the upcoming ILYA Invitational July 19, 20 & 21. OLYC, with its long tradition of hospitality, look forward to sharing it with all participants and guests.

The 2013 Blue Chip will be held in little over 2 1/2 months here on Okauchee Lake so we encourage everyone to come to the Invite. Three days of competitive racing will prepare you for the prestigious Chip.

On the calendar are 2 nights of home cooked meals, along with 3 healthy lunches and plenty of beverages (don't want you too healthy). In fact, after Friday and Saturday's races, free drink tickets will be handed out to each boat for each day.

There are 7 races scheduled for the 3 day event which should give you plenty of on-the-water time. With plenty of lake and great people, it'll be an eventful weekend of racin' C boats and having fun.
