I was wondering if you all thought it would be too forward of me to write the Grove Park Inn and make a few suggestions about the competition. I totally agree, a 3 hour public judging is too long...They could easily have people turn in their houses by 2:00 or 3:00 in the afternoon and go through that first phase of judging privately and announce the top ten publicly and allow the rest to be a public judging. I heard a lot of complaints in the audience about this...
I would like to suggest that they divide amateurs and professionals, but I don't want to make any of the other competitors upset, I would like to know if more people in the Grove Park Competition would like that...
Also, I think they should announce the order of the top ten. If you don't place 5th or Up, you are left hanging and wondering whether you were 6th or 10th.... I think if you spend over 200 hours on a house, you should be able to come home and tell your friends what place you made..
And Lastly, I think the Bell Boys should let you use the nice Brass carts without complaining to carry in your entries...
