During the first round a woman was wandering around with a big camera and asked if she could take some pictures. Turns out is was a professional photographer - Caitlyn Calorel (
calorelphotography.com ), and she graciously sent me links to all the pictures she took (over 80 pictures!). These are just some of the fantastic pictures she took - definitely check her out if you need portraits, wedding photos, or any GOOD pictures of events.
Ok, back to my crappy cell phone snapshots. (Yeah, I'm kind of embarrassed to show these after Caitlyn's great photos)
We brought in pizza for lunch (kind of nice having a pizza hut just a few doors down). Everyone set up their armies for paint judging

I always like to have good prize support - so everyone that did not win a trophy (with a gift card) got to choose from the prize table, in reverse order of scoring
And of course trophies for the winners
Round three got underway right on (adjusted) time

 |
| And I have lost count of how many times Erich Trowbridge has won Overall. |

It was a great little tournament, even if we didn't quite sell out like we have the previous two years. But everyone seemed to have a good time, and we will be back again next year!!!
