It takes a village to raise a child….
WSA is still a child but the village that it has around it support and helps it succeed, and for that I am eternally grateful!
The positive comments back to us on yesterday were appreciated and make it so worthwhile for me to see the level of enjoyment that everyone had, but we have a lot more growing to do. Growth starts with thanks, and I cannot thank the AHTLETES that came out to participate yesterday enough for being simply amazing!
From the legends of the sport to the novices we had a plethora of talent and no lack of beasts in every weight class! It was incredible for me to see so many happy faces as that is one of the largest takeaways for me!
So, without rambling too much I am going to thank the village from the start to the end as an entertainment company should (please forgive any misses that is not intentional rather I am just exhausted)!
