Let's call 2007
the year of the "Lemon". We didn't do well at
the Autry - again. They are not going to hold
this event in 2008 and I'm not going to miss it. |

Comments: |
Two contests in
one made for a long day. A lot of food did well
in one of them, so let's talk about that one.
IBCA a different type of contest and we did well
so I like them. First time with two firsts in
the same contest. |
