We would like to thank some people for helping put this contest on. First, all the teams that signed up. We were blown away by the response we got. Second, to all the judges that signed up to judge our contest. We had a better response by making our own form for them to fill out.
Third, to our KCBS reps, Patrick Diller and Laurie Tweten, thank you for your help and guidance, much appreciated.
Fourth, to all the businesses that provided goodies for our team bags:

Thank You for providing items to put in the team bags.

Lastly, I would like to thank our daughter, Erin, and son in law, Brandan, for all their help. Without you guys, it would have been tough to get this all accomplished. Hoping to be back on my A game next year.

If I missed anyone, I am sorry. You are very much appreciated!!
