2014 GLASS
BLOWN OPEN
The 2014 Glass Blown Open is two
weeks away and the tournament is shaping
up to be the biggest Glass Blown Open
event ever. Registration is approaching
500 players representing 30 US States
and 2 additional countries, Canada and
Sweden. This year’s event has seen great
financial support from the Emporia community
businesses. “There is still time to get
involved this year by sponsoring the event or
volunteering your time,” said Jeremy Rusco,
owner of Dynamic Discs.
“We would really like to invite everyone
out to the block party on Saturday May 3rd at
6:00pm on Commercial Street,” said Rusco.
The block party will consist of Cinco de Mayo
activities and the Glass Blown Open Block
Party all day long. One of the highlights of
the night will be a “Putting Championship”
where professional competitors will be
competing for a $1000 grand prize. There
will also be a great opportunity for the
community to participate in disc golf activities
throughout the evening.
On Sunday, the entire
community of Emporia is invited to
the Emporia Country Club for the final
round with the Professional divisions. The
leaders of the Men’s Professional division
will tee off around 2:00pm. Spectators
are encouraged to attend and stay for the
awards ceremony at 6:00pm.
