Have cut WAY down on our feising. Two OCs are over $150 for entry and that doesn't take into account any additional costs. NE region in trouble. Numbers way down, Feisanna being canceled. The powers that be need to come together to come up with a solution.

It makes it so one school isn’t solely responsible and if you can make an amazing theme weekend feis people would rather attend one well attended, hyped up feis rather than a small one struggling to make numbers
