Russellville Arkansas new Disc Golf Course has won the 2008 Facility Of The Year Award for under $500,000.
I was contacted by Mack Hollis (Russellvilles Park and Rec Director) About an hour ago with the news.
I'm to be in Eureka Springs Ar on Feb the 20th for the awards banquet.
There will be as Mack said over 200 parks and rec people there for the banquet.Several awards will be given away that day .
This will be a golden oppurtunity for us to put more baskets in the ground.I hope everyone is as excited about this as I am.
I've contacted Innova and expect they'll be more than happy to provide me with some info to hand out at the banquet.
Keep your fingers crossed.Arkansas could see some serious action in the near future.
Peace All !!!

Is there anyway to substitute a different representative?:o

Kidding...:D

Sounds like a Golden opportunity to shake hands and make connections.

Get some names and numbers Pitch, once the park people like you, you will be in tall cotton as they say...

I have never heard of such recognition given to a course...did they say exactly what made it "Facility of the Year"?

You know i'm not sure.
I'm guessing it's the course combined with the work put into the land.
You might wanna stop by someday and look at this place.It's pretty sweet .
Ha ha,
A diffrent rep huh,i'm not on everybodies bad side.Just a select few.
My head hurts,I celebrated a little too much last night.

I just finished reading the post about facility of the year. Is that an Arkansas award or national or what. We are doing a good bit of work on our place and I wouldn't mind tossing my hat in the ring for some exposure. And who is four states riders, me and my crew like to ride thru western and northwestern arkansas from time to time, maybe we can hook up. We have some good stuff planned for the lodge this year and you are invited.

This is for the state of Arkansas.
I guess every state would have this type of award.You might just Google it.
As for 4 State Riders.
Myself and a friend out of Rogers AR made 4 State Riders a Not For Profit.
Our main goal is to promote and also put on riding events.
This event in June is a fundraiser for BACA(Bikers Against Child Abuse)
So far we have 3 or 4 radio stations promoting it.Half a dozen bike related buisnesses as well.
Old Fort Harley Davidson is in,Westark Yamaha,Murdered Out Clothing,Convicted Clothing,and a handful of others.
It looks as if we'll have a dozen or more sponsors kicking in and vendors will be all along the Poker Run route on Sat the 14th.
Don't forget we'll have a Poker Run by water as well.Bring your boats.
Good luck on the facility and we'll be looking for you on Fathers Day weekend.
Just ask for Pitch.You'll find me.
I'll be on the Louder than Shiznick Pearl Orange Dyna LOL!!

The award is presented by the Arkansas Recreation and Parks Association (http://www.arkarpa.org/arpa/) which is an affiliate of the National Recreation and Parks Association, whose national publication featured a cover story on disc golf a few months ago written by Chuck Kennedy, it's an incredible PR exposure opportunity :cool:
