The annual Craddock Family Pitch Tournament is only two weeks away. I’m know a lot of you are getting excited. I’m really looking forward to turning that giddiness and excitement that you have into sorrow after I win this thing in glorious fashion, but I get ahead of myself.
As you know, the tournament will be held and Joe and Debbie Craddock’s place near Oney, Ok. We are well into planning the details of the event but it would be nice to know who all is going to make it this year and what they will be bringing. If you could please confirm your attendance that would be wonderful. You can do that by commenting below or sending me and email at erik@craddock.org.
Also since Uncle Joe will be hungry and the rest of us might want a snack between games, we will need food and drinks. Typically in years past, everyone would bring something to snack on and share it with the other attendees. It would be nice if not everyone brought the same thing. If you will let me know what you are bringing I will post it here so that others will know to bring something different. I know what your thinking “but Erik, what should I bring?, what do you need?”, below is a list of things I’m told would be nice to have, but bring something different if you’d like.

Let me know what you’re bringing and I’ll keep the list above updated. Also again please let me know that your coming and if you intend on playing pitch or not. We need to know so that we can figure out how many tables we need to procure. Help me get the word out to everyone.
Samie and I will be there! She’s bringing a burrito casserole and I’m bringing guac and chips. Can’t wait!!!
I will bring Dip and Cookies and 1 case of Coke.
I will also bring a veggie tray for those of us who do not eat meat or are on a diet.
Gay and I are coming and playing. Not sure on the food yet, probably some type finger food. Erk, your confidence is noteable and is a neccessary asset for your possible future job. However, the real test will be to see how you keep up your confidence and spirit if this tournament doesn’t go as you planned.
Uncle David, I believe in the virtue of honesty. How else could I better show love and respect for my family than to be honest with them. This is especially true when I have forseen pitfalls that will be coming their way. I am even more obliged to heed warning when I am that pitfall.
