862 has been comming to this for years, and it only gets bigger every year.
470 did most of the work I have to admit, they got the meetings together, got the tent, etc. etc. 66 has always been with them in full force in the festival (with the sole exception of last year, in which we just had a robot there with a couple of people, it was not the greatest year for us). This year I got word of the heritage festival planning meetings via a liason who was on 66 for her freshman and sophomore years, joined 470 for her junior year, and now is back on 66 for her senior year. Thus I got people together and thus 66 was in it better than last year thank God.

However, the other teams that were there deserve a great big thank you. Due to the large variety of stuff we were able to show off (VEX, Mindstorms RCX and NXT, FRC, a homemade segway, etc.) this was probably the best display at Heritage Festival in the 4 years I have been a part of the event. IT WAS AWESOME!!!

Thanks to everyone for everything, it was a great success.

-Joe

PS: Lastly, I hope I am not imagining things, but as compared to other displays in the festival with the exception of the music down by the river and etc. we drew in some of the biggest crowds. That is something to be extremely proud of.
