AVI BACK 2 BACK REGIONAL'S

It was a beautiful weekend. We had put Andy Dishong, Jeep Gereghty and Harry Robinson in charge of the weather. They even held off the rain until just about everyone had broken down and left the site before it hit! Susie Baumberger put together another great weekend for the cooks. Ron Burt was everywhere doing everything. Tootie Gray handled the People's Choice and morning libations for the charity (I forgot to write down the $ but it is being matched by the Bill Gates Foundation so we doubled out buck for Children's Literacy). Jim Maehl did his usual Chief Judge wonders. Scorekeepers were: Donnie Gordon, Louise Dinneweth, Val Gereghty, Bob Dinneweth, Susie Baumberger and Willma Maehl. Ron Burt and Sharue Johnson wrangled until we required them to Judge Red on Sunday and of course Capt Jim had to make a comment about Donnie & Louise "spoon jockeying". If we can shuck spoons at world we can jockey them just as easily (and it's not the first time for either of us).
