Day Two an artistic success

We heard good things from our guests around the continent yesterday, as Day Two of the North American Cup A wrapped up. Our six fencers (three in their first NAC) handled themselves well. One fencer, a veteran of the youth circuit but fencing in a senior-level event for the first time, won her first bout! That was wonderful to see. Four of our more experienced fencers take the strip today for Day Three, and hoping one of them will crack the ceiling and win at least one direct elimination bout.

Words cannot express our gratitude to the dozens of volunteers who have chipped in to make this event run smoothly and brilliantly! DMFC is a wonderful club, and our friends and family members have done a wonderful job.

The Des Moines Register printed two photos in its Saturday edition, and featured additional photos in an online gallery (follow this link to view).Link
