Utah Summer Games

Well its the most stressfull week of the summer for me. Utah Summer Games though it is small, it is a great. My friend Jasen and I interduced paintball to the Utah Summer Games 3 years ago. The Utah Summer games for those that don't know is an Olympic style compition. Many states in the nation do something similar but the Utah Summer Games are the biggest state games. Paintball has been in the top five of the fastest growing sports in the world for the last 10 years.

The event this year is this Saturday June 9th. The event will begin at 7 in the morning and continue all the way through the end of the day. All are welcome, it is a very good way to be introduced to the tournament side of this redneck/military game.

Oh, yeah... the Utah Summer Games are huge! There are tons of events and people come to Cedar City from all over the state. The paintball event is being held this Saturday, the 9th from 7am-7pm in Cedar City. It'll be a blast! You should try to come down even for the night. You can crash in our apartment. Tight squeeze, but fun! :)
