This area contest has been a huge monkey on my back. Organizing volunteers from all 4 clubs and relying on each club’s leadership to obtain them… Not having a target/test speaker until only a few nights before… Thank goodness I got David to be Chief Judge. His help was needed and proved to be most reliable. I was able to leave all of the contest judging responsibilities in his hands.

Overall, it was a decent contest. This contest’s attendance of 35 was around the same attendance as the fall contest (31), though I felt I had things under better control then (though this may be looking at the past through rose tinted glasses).
