Congratulations to all our fine competitors this year! Participation was amazing.
A tremendous thank you to John Lichtenberger, our 2017 stone handler. He worked tirelessly to be sure everything was correctly logged in when received, transmitted to the Judges, results tabulated, and stones returned to their correct owners.
Thanks as well to our dedicated Judges, who spend substantial time and effort judging the stones you work so hard on. This year the Novice Class was judged by James Clark. Premaster, Master and Grand Master were judged by Wing Evans, with an assist from B. Diane Eames. We sincerely hope that the judging comments each of you received will enable you to improve your cutting experience in future.
