PILLAGE THE VILLAGE A SUCCESS!!

Pillage the Village turned out to be a perfect day! The Kick Ball tournament
started at 8:30 am and finished around 6:30  Eight teams competed.  Three Beds
showed up for the Bed Race and last year’s champs, FOAGA, held their title for
the second year in a row.  Throughout the day there were kids games, concessions,
popcorn stand, and in the evening smoked grilled chicken or pork dinner with sides
was served. It was some really good eating.  All participants in the Kickin’ Balls and
Racin’ Beds received Manley T-shirts and other prizes.  The Pillage the Village
