Susanne Nickerson (Evaluation) and Karen Hauser (Humorous) did a terrific job as Contest masters for the contests. Robi Ley did an excellent job as the test speaker for the Evaluation contest. The contests could not have taken place without the judges, helpers, and of course, the audience. Thank you to all.
The Spring Contest season will be starting soon.
Now is the time to write and polish up those Tall Tales and International Speeches! The
TLI training will offer opportunities to learn more about the upcoming contest categories, as well as judges training and contest quality training.
