Don Garling, who chaired judging on Saturday morning, and I want to thank our registration “crew” who helped us register all of the entries and prepare the judging folders late Friday night. In addition, we’d like to thank all of our judges and all of our clerks who came out early Saturday morning to help us with the ribbon judging as well as the AOS judging which followed.
Thank you kindly!
