As well as congratulations to all the winners this year We had some of the best mounts I have seen at the show this year. I would also like to thank all of our judges and seminar instructors for all their hard work. I heard a lot of positive feedback on our seminars we had this year, which was great to hear. As my two years of being the NCTA President comes to an end, I have to thank my secretary April Rouse. She has been the one that kept everything running smooth in the organization the last two years. Also thank you Herman Parker for the awesome job you have done as treasurer, and for the many years you have ran our association s website. I am already looking forward to next year's show, and encourage you to start thinking about your next show piece. We have some great officers coming in at the first of the year and I am sure they will do an awesome job and will continue to led the NCTA in the right direction. Thank you for allowing me to be your President the last two years. God Bless, Steve Tugwell www.nctaxidermist.net
