This is announcement that the next Wifflefest will be held July 19th.  Secure the date.  If you were planning on going to a wedding, skip it.  If you were suppose to have a date, bring her.  You don’t want to miss it.

What is Wifflefest?
The magical festivity, steeped in tradition, is the combination of two sports—wiffleball and beer drinking.  It was founded in the early 21st century by four guys in an apartment across from a park.  One morning while pondering the meaning of life, they thought “hey, I wonder if we could combine everything we love about beer drinking, wiffleball, and festivities into a single event”.  And so, on that morning, Wifflefest was born.  It was not but two weeks later that the first Wifflefest was held.  The keg glistened as the sun rose that morning.  If you stood still, you could hear the faint sound of tradition in the air.  As the day poured on, many games were won and lost; and, many plastic cups lay strewn across the field of play.  But, one thing remained certain—the first Wifflefest would not be the last.

Where and When?
The location is TBD, but mostly likely in a park in STC. The date is July 19th, high noon.

What do I need to bring?
Some wiffle balls, a little yellow bat, and your drinking shoes.  Although, the wiffle balls and the bat will be provided.

Can I bring a friend? Yup.

This year’s event will be hosted by the last Achiever Award Winner - Jeremy Krueger.

Update from the host:  You’ve heavily touted the wiffle ball aspect of this event, but there will certainly be something for everyone. Since the event will be held in St. Charles, we are required to have a functioning washers game on site and everyone must have at least one Busch Lite in their coolers at all times. I’m currently working on getting a tattoo artist to set up shop at the pavilion. The down side to this is that St. Charles tattoo artists only know how to apply the “tramp stamp” or cool tribal arm band as these are the only tattoos ever requested in the county.
