The turnout for this event is huge. There were 30 teams (total for both divisions of kids 7 and younger, and 8 to 12 year olds) registered before the contest began. The free workshops for the three days before the contest date, got the competitive spirit worked up to a fevered pitch.
In the childrens contest, adult involvement is limited to verbal
instruction,
and from outside the plots.
The fairness of two separate divisions based on age, allows for
the little tykes and toddlers, up to the older pre teens to be able compete
in their own separate age group divisions. Up
to four members per team.
