First, a thanks to our sponsors, without whom we couldn't have done the show! They include: Edie Insurance, the Golf Course Superintendents Association of America, HyVee, Intrust Bank, JE Dunn Construction, OmTree Shala, Allen Real Estate, Sign Up, The Roost, Tito's Vodka, Flight Leadership, Wonder Fair, Integrity Insurance, and Killer Kite Productions.
Next, a huge thanks to our contestants - Ashley Philavong, The Spice Pals, Jason Keezer (and his amazing friends) Sam Gunnerson, Micha Anne Cox, Victoria Taurean Smith, Patrick & Amy Kelly, Jen Young, and Jamie St. Viva and Veta. And of course to our emcees, Amber Nickel & Andy Morton. Finally, a huge thanks to our judges: Lisa Larsen, Kawehi, and Bert Michaels, who even joined up on stage for a number of his own.!
