I normally don't cover the court dance but with so many out of town visitors participating, I thought it would be interesting to do so. It turned out to be very enjoyable. The pictures below are from Saturday late afternoon and Sunday Noon dances. Monday dances were a rather unique sight. With all the mud, it was like watching a group surfing excercise. Alas I ran out of film by then.

The previous description and all these wonderful images are brought to you by Frank Hui. Because of his devotion, I have nothing to add. --Robyn Sotherby
