Here it is, ladies and gentlemen—we’ve officially wrapped up the nearly two-month-long Sizzlin’ Summer Showdown! 🎉
First off, a huge thank you to everyone who participated. This event was an absolute blast, and it wouldn’t have been possible without you.
Looking ahead: by mid-September I’ll announce whether our next event will be in October or if we’ll go straight into the Holiday Bass Bash. Honestly, that decision depends on finances—up to now I’ve been the main financial backer of every event, but I’m hoping to line up sponsors or steady work to help keep things rolling.
Quick side note for the club: the Weekend Warrior Membership on Patreon closes to new members on Wednesday, September 10 at midnight. If you’re not already a monthly supporter, you won’t be able to sign up for future events—no exceptions. Once I close it, it will remain shut to the public for the foreseeable future.
If you’re already a member, don’t worry—you’re locked in at just $6 a month.
