John McCarter Posted May 13, 2016 Author Share Posted May 13, 2016 The contest will be hosted outside, and Missouri likes to mess with us weather wise at times. Everything is subjective at this point. The events are going to be what is featured. The location may change if I find a better location. It's going to be fun hosting. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
