North Augusta, SC

Well, we headed south even though Hurricane Matthew was coming. We were in the safe zone though with many evacuees. We showed in North Augusta, SC but stayed in Augusta, GA. It rained all day Friday and finally quit around 1 on Saturday. Thankfully the show was inside!

We started the weekend off with Jayden and Oz qualifying for Westminster!

This was a fun circuit!  Lots to do within walking distance of the show.   It is a different time zone which we didn't realize until over there but we really enjoyed it!  You should visit Owensboro.

Now we head in September which will be a little slower for us.  I will let you know how we do!
