BTLN UPDATE - MAYLONG 2017

The 37th annual Maylong was another amazing campout! The weather was better than most that we have had in the last ten years. It only rained while we were sleeping on Friday night. After Friday night, the weather just kept getting better! This year both Dan and Devin brought their boys! New Btln Maylong records for youngest on the beach! (1 year olds!) It is so good to see the next generation at the Maylong!

In the Cribbage Tourney Final, three out of the four competitors had never won the Crib Tourney. It was Jason Hayashi and Josh Martens against Jeremy Martens and Eli Podovinikoff. Josh and Jason jumped out to a big lead that they would never relinquish. Congrats to Josh and Jason!

The Maylong is the end of the Btln Memory Work, so the guys were busy finishing. It is fun to have the guys reciting the Scriptures throughout the weekend! Tyson, Alex and Dolan all completed the Memory Work this year at the Maylong! (Luke, Jakob, Dylan and Josh all completed the Memory Work before the Maylong Campout!) I am so proud of all of the guys that finished the Memory Work this year! A Btln salute to those that did the Memory Work!

This year was the sixth year for the Maylong Regatta! Last year we made some changes to the Regatta. Instead of building boats we have numbered balls that we dump into the creek. This year it was Devin and Wade's ball that was the winner! Congrats to the father and son team!
