2nd Class
Mike,
Thanks for the information. What is the minimum and maximum number of people you need to attend. I know 8 guys that would attend if the class was closer to Hudson, WI. Is there any chance you would consider doing a second class?
Thanks again

St Cloud
Thanks Mike,
The 8 of us have already signed up for the class in St Cloud. We did not want to risk the class filling up. It'a about a 2 hour drive for me and I should be able to get off work early enough. See you in St Cloud.
