The doors for the Grand Ball rooms will be locked at 3:00 pm during the Awards and Dodge Event.
The reception and posters will immediately follow the Dodge Event.
We have just over 300 posters so we are asking the presenters for the odd numbered posters to stand by their posters for judging in their division between 5-6 pm and Even numbered poster presenters to stand by their posters from 6:00 -7:00 pm
