Competitors have first dibs on sharing tickets with their friends and family. Any leftover tickets will be available after Saturday afternoon, Feb. 14. Let me know if you'd like to be on the list to receive one. I'll get back to you on Sunday. Tickets are $10 for adults; $8 youth. Lap children are free.
