01 - 02 - 03 - Contest - Awards - Final Results

Here are the pictures from the Awards Ceremony/Banquet Friday night.

The Audio recorder died (guess those batteries don't last as long as I thought) I did take video (which is so horrible I will never post it) but the audio is good so I will extract that when I get home and post it. its over 12gb of video so I need the more powerful computer at home to process it.

For now here are the pictures!

The Names are in Descening Order
Yellow is 4th - White is 3rd - Red is 2nd - Blue is 1st place
For a few events the contestant was not their so someone else may have stood in for them.

When there is a TIE I will try to put both names on the same line and seperate them with an & instead of a - .
