The MCAB VIII has come to a close.

I believe it has been a successful event.Many thanks go out to the volunteers who helped to plan, execute, steward, judge, clean, organize and host this event. It could not have happened without everyone's participation.

141 entries were judged.

Thanks special thanks goes to our out of town judges who traveled long distances to participate and brought great value to the event:

Alan Hord - Redmond, WA

Ed - If you had stayed one more day we could have given you the foot
of snow you wanted! Post MCAB VIII Blizzard 3/13/06!!! The blizzard was partly responsible for the delayed posting of the results. Alan was also responsible - thanks for the pints Alan!

Kris England gave a very informative talk on the Waters of the World. Thanks for the great effort Kris.

Our Best of Show Judges did a great job establishing the winners. It was tough duty, but they looked like they enjoyed it! Thanks for the extra effort.
