And We Think The Winners Shall Be … ?
We’ve invited a crew to give their input as to who they think will emerge as event
champions this weekend. Here are there picks, along with the consensus choice. The
person with the most correct choices will win a pot of gold. Well, maybe not a full pot
.… and it may not be gold-colored. Enjoy!
