Thanks Chris & Jimmie -

Chris, I am glad you posted that...it is hard to know if any of these competitions are worth it if you are unfamiliar with the venue. You can look on a website, but that doesn't tell you if the name of the organization means anything to anyone or not. Sometimes they are small little town organizations and it feels like it was wasted money/time. This is good - at least you made me feel like my investment might be worthwhile!
