2nd annual track town throwdown

Kenton pulled it off for the 2nd year in a row; the Track Town Throwdown was a big success! This is the name he created for the Heroscape Tournament that he planned for the last two years. We had 20 guys playing ages 8 to 50-something & guys came from Portland & Medford to participate. Kenton's grandpa Lew helped me moderate - we kept track of time, scores & announced who was playing with who. There were 5 rounds that were 50 minutes each & it lasted from 11 am to 4 pm...even longer for us. Plus, everyone takes home a prize! It went really smoothly & everyone had a great time.

Round 1: Kenton played against Dom...Kenton was hoping to play him, but not in the first round. Kenton ended up losing this game, but won 3 games overall: placing 8th out of 20. :)

Tyler was able to play in the tournament this year (I think he had to be at a wedding last year) & did really well. He was the youngest one playing & won his game against the oldest player. :) Go Ty!

Jacque also helped me & Lew & she kept me company. After 5 rounds it can get a little repetitive, so it was nice to have a friend. :) Stu played in the tournament, even though he's fairly new to the game. I think he played as many games today as he'd ever played before. Plus, he beat Kenton! Good job, Stu!

Finn spent the whole day with Mummi & Pappa Henry! He did really well & was happy to see us when we picked him up. We had a mellow evening at home (after a very nice dinner with Kenton's family) & enjoyed some silly time with Finn before bedtime.

We're pretty exhausted after such a busy day but it was worth it. Everyone had a great time & really appreciated all the work that Kenton put into making the tournament happen. It's a huge job & Kenton planned it all! I'm pretty proud of him for organizing such a successful event. :)
