Along with what Steve said, I think we can say that the competition overall was a success. The Lieutanant Governor of Maryland, the Comptroller of Maryland, and the County Executive of Baltimore County all stopped by during the week. The Director of NASA GSFC, officials from AAI, and officials from the Maryland State Fair were on hand for the awards ceremony. A large number of fair goers stopped by to check out the tent so there was a good amount of FIRST publicity going on. We hope to do this again next year and hope that we can get a better turn out
