But first dinner! Tonight its American Cuisine what ever that is suppose to mean. Quite frankly I was to excited about the awards ceremony and helping the Open crew that I don't really remember what I ate. I'm sure it was delicious though I distinctly remember going back for a second piece of cake.
Anne Forester announced the awards and we made it through the whole list in good time.
Here are a few stats to go along with all of that:
# of entries = 532 (512 in
2015)
# of entrants = 174 (155 in
2015)
Awards
25 Certificate of Merit
123 Bronze
76 Silver
There were also a host of special and manufacturer awards. Michael Proctor picked up the Best in Show award for his diorama, Marike Reimer picked up Non-Reaper Best in show for her diorama. And Jessica Rich won Reaper Best in Show.

Now on to the few pictures of the event:

| Restlessness before the announcements, there are still folks at the metal trade table. |

| The Reaper booth remains busy and the MSP Open is temporarily close except for a lone blogger; Lynn Stahl. After the awards this area will be the busiest spot in the building as people come over to get their actual scores and talk with the judges. |
