We want to thank everyone for participating and supporting our competition these past 5 years. Needless to say, these have been challenging times for everyone, including our sponsors and patrons. Unfortunately, we will not be able to have a competition in 2021.
We would like to wish everyone good health and safety during this time. We are all in this together!
