This competition was made possible by a great crew. Without their help it would not have been possible. I personally wanted to thank the following individuals:

Dave Buning for sharing his house with us yet again for all our organization and label efforts and letting us take over his beautiful pool and ping pong tables and covering them with all kinds of beer as well as storing all the raffle items. I think it also goes without saying, but I also want to thank Sue for putting up with our "Shamrock Shenanagins" all over again too!

Kevin Thorngren for doing an excellent job as the registrar once again. All the labeling went amazingly smooth this year, and the data organization was top notch. Kevin really put a lot of time into this competition making sure everything was accurate and it showed. Thanks also for mailing out all the scoresheets and prizes! Sorry about losing the coin flip ;)

Aaron Miller for doing a great job organizing the judges and flights this year and did especially well dealing with the last minute judge drop outs and reconfiguration. Aaron also did a great job organizing all the paperwork to make things run smoothly!

Mike Dixon for helping hash out preliminary flights for us, and getting the BOS all setup / organized.

Alison for doing a great job as a first time head steward, and also along with Jimmy V the precompetition printing of all the paperwork and the costco supply run!

Brian Sico for maintaining the online registration system as well as really stepping up to help Alison with the stewards.

Todd Wenzel for providing us with an excellent assortment of goodies for our raffle. This was a great raffle turnout considering how the economy is in a slump. You did a great job!

Walt Sweeney for helping with the competition in every area he could. You really helped a lot Walt, much appreciated!

Jim Brewer for holding the ridiculous amount of supplies at his house all year, and with all the labeling and bottling.

Johnni from the BB&Y cafe for hosting and letting us completely take over the cafe for our competition year after year!

Lonerider for providing the lunch keg, as well as all our other sponsors which made this event more fun!

Walt H, Brent, Mike W, Bill D, and everyone else that helped with all the cleanup and prep for the comp. Thanks guys!

It goes without saying, but THANK YOU to all the judges and stewards that helped with this competition. You all did a wonderful job, and it absolutely would not have been possible without each and every one of you. I look forward to helping support your clubs in future competitions!

Thanks again everyone!!
