We had a total of 133 in Attendance, which beats our previous record of
102 in 2007, and was 46% more than in 2008.
We maxed out on the " allowable pavilion capacity, but space was not an
issue, due to the volunteers that brought extra tables and chairs, and
everyone was not in the pavilion at the same time. We are planning to
return to Centennial Park in July next year.
Thanks to Everyone for a GREAT EVENT!
