This was the 11th annual pub crawl through the wilds of Fremont, using the best fundraising method ever invented - drinking beer. This year's Troll Stroll had 11 bars on board and over 1,500 participants raised over $60,000 in one afternoon.
Tori's Pub Crawlers evolved into Tori's Troll Strollers in 2008 and in 2009 we transitioned to The Fightin' G-Gnomes Drinking Team. We kept our Ripken-like streak intact, we've made it to every single pub crawl! The team met up for a pre-stroll breakfast at Norm's and then hit the bars. The weather was great this year so there was more elbow room with more people outside. We made it to all the bars on the crawl except Norm's, which was too crowded. Since we had breakfast there we still consider it a complete stroll.
This year our team had eight members: Veterans Robert, Carol, Connie, Linda, Michael and Gavin were joined by rookie Mark Sollitto and Greg Van Horn, returning after a 7-year drought.
