Really, Mr. Kircher? Have you given up on your gambling elsewhere?

Parker, Thank you and the Oak Ridge Chamber of Commerce for hosting the Primetime Tailgate Party and for all the other great things you folks do in our community. I had a great time visiting with friends and neighbors and talking with a lot of your members at their tables. What a hoot. Thanks again.
