Winston Salem, NC – The Top Gun Challenge is an event that features North Carolina’s elite high school quarterbacks. Registration for this event is open to all incoming High School Quarterbacks.

The Top Gun Challenge is a Darin Slack Quarterback Academy Event. DSQA began training quarterbacks in 1988. Since its inception, The Academy has trained over 16,000 aspiring athletes, and has seen many go on to excel at the collegiate and professional levels, most recently, Matt Flynn of the 2007 BCS National Champion LSU Tigers.

New Year's Party at Lo-Re-Lei's

I had the pleasure of attending a great party welcoming in the New Year 2008 at Lo-Re-Lei's. Kelly and her staff put on a great event with food, band, pool and plenty of attendees making for a fun filled time for all. Robert, Cindy and all the other employees made this one fantastic must attend if anywhere around the area.

While not as large as some of the year end events in Wilmington, this small town venue made its mark as the place to be where locals could get together and ring in the new year in style.

The band members were very friendly and accommodating as the crowd met and chatted during breaks and even once in a while on stage!

As the evening wore on, the band had the dance floor rockin' and the crowd yelled for more and more.






The following pictures are just some examples:
