We are behind on things for the competition. We still need a photographer, and we still need more people to volunteer to help. This does NOT mean you cannot compete. We will have people switch off to cover for people to compete and/or take breaks. We will also be having a few more meet ups at Madeline’s house to get comp stuff done.

Orrin – might have a line on wood for trophies since we are still trying to get that taken care of. As well. Deadline for logos for t-shirts is just a couple weeks away so if you get a sponsor, get their logo, too!
