Phew what a long day that was, up at 5:30, show was fast and furious with a huge number of huge classes with only 2 judges double judging 2 divisions at once. I knew it would be a long show but was shocked and exhausted as we pulled out at 9:10 pm and hit the road back to MN. We should have been home around 2, decided to stop for sit down food so maybe 2:30. An hour or so from home the interstate was closed due to freezing rain making the roads super icy. Tons of cars in the ditch. No hotel at that exit so our only option was to hang out in the truck in the WalMart parking lot in 30 degree weather for about an hour and a half. We finally were let back on lightly salted roads that were still slick so going no faster than 40 we crawled the rest of the way up the interstate getting home at 5:00 AM!
Street and sidewalks were so icy you could hardly walk but the models had to be unloaded! I still havent recovered my sleep or my aching muscles from that one. And oh joy looks to be similar weather for Thanksgiving.
Anyway on to results and pix. I missed getting pix of a few of my pieces that did well and havent yet taken all their finished pictures but I got most of them.
