It was a cold day that started cloudy and got brighter as the day went on.  It was good weather for orienteering.  We had a huge turnout for National Orienteering Day (I think Deb Beisel outdid herself in the publicity department).  We even had a photographer from the Tribune Review in Greensburg.  We had a lot of scouts and other newcomers, as well as a collection of the "regulars".  Thanks to Sally O'Donnell, Barbara Johnstone, John Hartman and Al Shaeffer for running registration, T-shirt sales so smoothly.  Thanks to Laurie Opila for doing preliminary map instruction.  And thanks to Mary McElhinny, Bryon Roland and John Hartman for helping to take down the controls.

We had at least 96 people come to this meet, making it the second largest turnout we have had.  Because we were so busy, we didn't have time to give out the prizes (compasses and a T-shirt that were provided by Brunton, a sponsor of National  Orienteering Day).  After the event, we held a random drawing to give out these prizes.  So, if you are a prize winner, you can pick up your prize at the next event.  Winners of a Brunton Compass are:  Bradley Treece of Clarksburg, Todd Vermileon of Johnstown, Tony Farina of Johnstown, and Alex Benincasso of Boswell.  Winner of the Brunton T-shirt is Mark Malagodi of Pittsburgh.
