Last week was the debut of Nitty Gritty Slam at Valentines and here is video of our first slam winner, Tammy Lopez.
Not only did we have Tammy as our first winner at the first slam, we had a couple other “firsts”. Dan Wilcox got the first zero score. And at the other end of the spectrum, Shannon Shoemaker received the first “10.0”.
We will be back at Valentines next Tuesday, September 20 for another slam. How many “firsts” will happen then?

I think it was Tammy got the first 10, but Shannon was awesome too.
