Results
Many thanks to all who helped out, participated, and also to those who came out to spectate! Special thanks to Paul and Doug for their major efforts.
Nice to see some out-of-town folks like Erik Petrich and his wife. Also Eric Sumner (visiting from San Francisco) and his folks were present.
Really was cool to see Paul and also Jacob and John peg the square dance!
Looking forward to Roborama 2009B!
