I enjoyed the competition very much! Good judges, on time, or a bit early even. What bothered me is the length of time I was there. To be in the same auditorium for 17 hours in one day is just too much. I was going a bit crazy at hour 13, and I was able to get up and walk around and take breaks. I can't imagine how the judges felt. I had a lot of parents bothered by how late we were there each night as well. I get it, you had a lot of entries---that is great for your business, but it could be a turn off for families in the future. Overall though, I really enjoyed myself, my kids did too!
