A few observations (in no particular order) from July 4, 2011, by Kory...
The overall experience and setup was very similar to what was observed in 2008.
Total entries were just under 300; I believe the number was 293.
All contestants were Three-toed Box Turtles, except for 2 Ornate Box Turtles (one from near St. Louis, Missouri and the other from Boone County, Arkansas), a Northern Map Turtle, a Red-Eared Slider, and a Spiny Softshell.
