By allowing only the people who arrived on time (before 9:30 a.m.) to compete in the games, we were able to start the opening ceremonies on time!! We also had two Jenga venues up and running all day, so that helped keep everyone on schedule.

The weather was cooperative, not too hot, not too cool (75 degrees with a slight breeze), and the new window screens in the Homerun Derby venue kept the temperature inside the house at a comfortable level.
