We will need to leave the WWHS parking lot on the buses loaded by 5:30 AM on that date to make it down to regional's in time for the judges meeting, and to allot you ample time to set-up your items. (When the schedule is posted, I will place it on this web page!). We should be back around the estimated time 8:30 PM that same day. On the trip down and back, we will stop on the turnpike rest stop once (on the way down to regional's, just for restrooms & on the way back for a quick supper break). Thank you!
