The Island is Calling

A week from now, on August 1,  I will hop on my bike and pedal from Southdale shopping center in Edina, Minnesota to Treasure Island Resort and Casino near Red Wing, Minnesota. Then the next day I’ll wake up early and ride back to Apple Valley, Minnesota.  Of course, as you can probably tell from the tab at the top of the page or the logo on the right hand side, my bike excursion will be for The Hartford Breast Cancer Ride. To learn more about this great event and why I care enough to ride my bike nearly 150 miles in two days, please click on either the tab at the top or that pink bike logo over there. Or just visit BreastCancerRide.org.

Two weeks after the Ride I’ll be driving back to Treasure Island for a much different reason, the Fantasy Football Camp with KFAN Radio.  I will be co-hosting the “Fantasy Football Weekly” radio show per usual that morning from 10-12 on the ‘FAN, but we’ll be broadcasting the show live from Treasure Island at the event. Our radio program will be followed by a live mock draft in which I will take part along with my co-hosts, other on-air personalities from the station, and assorted other fantasy experts from around the industry. After that, my co-hosts and I will deliver even more fantasy tips and analysis…stuff that doesn’t fit into a normal radio show format. Plus we’ll have a question and answer session. As you can see in this press release regarding the event, there will even be space set aside for your league to hold their draft.

We did a similar event to this with the radio station two years ago and it was a big hit. The crowd was huge and we had a lot of fun. I encourage any of you who are hard-core fantasy football fans to make the trek to Treasure Island for the function. I hope to see you there!

As they say, “the island is calling.”  Apparently I’m heeding the call.
