Hello,
This is the state bid tournament and this year it will be held in Sedro-Woolley on the 28th of February. The registration for this one is coming up quickly so I need to know by February 6th if you are attending. This tournament requires one judge for every two entries, so I need to know how many judges and vehicles I'll need. Your quick response is appreciated.
2/28 is a Tuesday, and we will depart Bellingham around 2:30pm. We will return same night around 10:30pm.
You will need to pack dinner or bring money for dinner, but be aware their concession choices are limited.
Parent drivers/judges are also needed, so please let me know if you can help out. Thanks and I hope to hear from everyone soon,
Aly
