Something new has been added for 2025. We actually live-streamed the event held on Saturday, July 26. It didn't turn out as planned, but we did have some folks who just hung with us for the whole nearly six hours of the live stream. Our first stream crashed a bit over 3 hours into the event and couldn't be restored. Actually, it crashed a couple of times before that and we were able to continue the video from the point it left off. The final crash made that one disappear from OBS (the free to use streaming/production software). So we started a Part 2 and that carried us through the rest of the event. Very little control of the cameras...made for something that should have looked smooth and professional to something out of control and jerky. Your IT team (mainly of one plus a bit of moral support and VERY helpful suggestions and troubleshooting from some great folks ---thanks Thomas and everyone else---) will work on and hopefully solve the problems for the next one. We'll have a pic of the grand prize winner, Dave Peters, posted, but meanwhile you can see him near the end of part 2.
