FYI:

Seth Osburnsen is a long-time MN paintball player and field owner that was seriously injured in a motorcylce accident last fall. Recognized by many as the "short angry man with a goatee", he has been a fixture of MN paintball for the last 13 years.

Seth played on a myriad of teams (Ignition, Northside, Air Assault) and operated Indy Extreme Paintball in Bemidji MN from 2000 until 2007. He is also the promoter and organizer of all 17 Walrus Cups.

This benefit will help assist Seth on his road to recovery. Anyone interested in coming out can be guaranteed a good time, rain or shine. Air Assault Factory will be in complete attendance and prepared for some hardcore action @ Northern Minnesota's premiere paintball field.

Big thanks to Superior Paintball!

Little over a month left before this. The games will all be played on the Junkyard field which should lead to some intense battles.

Anyone who is thinking about showing up this is a great cause and it would be an awsome kick off to your season.

[big_fyll]

I will be there

[Kave]

Lunch will also be provided for all of those attending! It sounds like the turnout is going to be good so show up and have a good time.

[Healy]

Bring extra socks, jersey's, pants, underwear, etc. its gonna be muddy the snow hasn't even melted yet in the twin ports.

[Brent Kotchman]

AAF will be there in full attendence.

Please try and make it out. Good times, all for a good cause.

Is this still on? Duluth area is in a blizzard warning according to the news....
Would like to see tons of people up there for this, but dont want to see people miss it being stuck in the ditch.

[Randy Norcross]

We need to do this and do it right.

It's important and the support is there. More than you know.

Watch the weather forecast and make the right call.

The support will still be there in two weeks if you need to postpone.

As of now the event is still on. They are saying snow but the forcast is for temps well above freezing which means it will hopefully just rain and we will be good to go on saturday.

I will post an update after talking to people tomarrow if anything changes.

[Darrin]

I more than support this benefit but, it needs to happen on a nicer weekend more in May or June when it will be warm and there will be a much better turnout
