Thanks Kyle - but especially thanks to our co-chairs Ryan and Carolyn (also volunteer of the year!) who we couldn't have done without... According to our volunteer coordinator Chris Fultz, we had around 100 volunteers that worked to make this an outstanding regional! Many regionals struggle with their volunteer base - but we had people coming out of the woodworks to help us out! Unbelievable the effort they put forth...and the friendly attitude they maintained.
Thanks to FIRST for having confidence in our ability to put on an event in Indiana and at Purdue. We had many years of FIRST experience among the planning committee, including the IRI planners.
I personally want to thank Marci Cochran and Lauren Vertz who I left at the front info table so often, and helped out so much even though both of their teams were competing.
Thanks to Dean Simmons and the Kamens band for rockin' the CoRec on Friday night.
Special thanks to all the teams who attended and provided such fierce competition! Some teams traveled many hours, and half of the teams were from Indiana! This was truly an exciting game to watch this weekend, and thanks to Blair and Dan for such colorful commentation.
Thanks to Shannon for getting the campus tours together. Seems that everyone really enjoyed and appreciated them.
There are just so many thanks to everyone that had anything to do with making this such a great event... So many thanks to people even more behind the scenes - like those allowing us to use Elliott Hall for amazing awards ceremonies and those setting up everything inside the event.
Also Congrats to the winners and all teams that made it into the finals. You certainly had some tough teams to get through!
Anyway - we look forward to next year for an even better Boilermaker regional!
