Ugh, thanks for sharing, I had to miss for a 2nd year in a row. The weather would have made it a rough 7 hour trip from here, you guys are troopers! I hope everyone had a safe trip home.
So, who won the contest??

I'm such a clod I've already forgotten his name, but he clocked in at something like an hour and eleven minutes. Took home an Ardor as his prize (with the trophy yet to come). Second place, at about 1:05 was Wayne from Pennsylvania, who took home a nice, big Kaywoodie sandblast. Third place also was at about 1:05, and I think he too got a Kaywoodie.

Was the winner Doc Garr from Scranton? Buddy W from Baltimore also placed high.

Thanks for sharing your photos. Met some nice pipers and it was a fun time... except for the road conditions on the way home

Les is too modest, he clocked in a respectable 7th place!
