BJ, have you received any mail-ins yet? If so, how many?

Not received any yet. They typically do not start coming in until the week of the hunt. Should start receiving them today or tomorrow.
Thanks
BJ

Received 12 calls yesterday and 8 so far today with all but one telling me they will be here Friday to sign their team up. The one that's not coming Friday is mailing their entry in. I don't do Facebook but from what I am hearing there is a lot of teams talking about the Henrietta hunt on there and are coming to the sign up on Friday. I expect to have at least 35 to 40 teams. Looks like the weather is going to cooperate by then also.
Thanks
BJ
