If you were at our competition and you wouldn't mind to take a moment and leave a Google review for our amazing DJ David Donald it would mean a lot to him! He battled bugs, the heat, and threats of rain to make sure we had a great music line up. He loved getting to see all the teams and be a part of our weekend!
