It always amazes me how quickly the competition comes and goes. Our teams organize in September and we start preparing for the competition in October, planning, practicing, organizing transportation, hotel, fundraising, practicing, organizing and packing equipment and supplies, selecting-ordering-receiving logo shirts for each participant, meeting with industry coaches, practicing, preparing name plates, and the list goes on! Lots and lots of hard work by everyone involved.
The result: one of the best experiences our students get during their college education.
Saturday consisted of a career fair starting at 8 and Region 6, Region 7, and Open Division awards ceremonies starting at 10.
After only a few hours of sleep in 3 days, Shane Medley is up early to get a jump on the career fair.
After hearing so much about Reno, my wife Elizabeth and sons Ford and Hank came down to check it out. Ford and Hank noted that is was the best vacation they've ever had and want to do it again next year! (no comment on the Songer vacation schedule)

Chris Soberg, Region 6 director from Weber State, Lori Brown, Region 7 director from CS Chico, and a friendly guy I didn't know.
Proof that students can walk, drink coffee, smile, give a thumbs up, and sleep at the same time!
