Absolutely a great day! Everyone was just fantastic. I mean, I got to play a CLYW Cliff today. How cool is that!
You all did a great job. Sensei…just a home run. I hope the tally shows well for Eli Hops. Everyone was so nice to my little buddy, which I immensely appreciated. He’s beyond excited.
The NH YoYo Club did certainly REPRESENT! Yoyokid8…I told you! I knew you could win today. Well done! The rest of you did fabulous. It was also great to see how well the sponsored players did with the crowd choice comp style. Everyone was very gracious in both win, and more importantly (and impressively) in loss. The spirit of the event really showed through. 🙂
Anyhow…just a great time. Thank you so much.
