Welcome to the Tradition. Sun Valley, Idaho!

Traditionally blog posts have been boring and not worth reading. Well life has changed. What comes to mind is the famous song "Tradition" by Fiddler on the Roof. Have you heard of it. I have. If you do not remember or do not have the foggiest idea what I am talking about, then you should youtube it. "Tradition!" 

Now that we are on the same page, lets take a moment and grasp "Tradition." Do you have it in your hand? Good! Now with the other hand, reach up and grab it by its neck. Ok, so this is what you are going to do. Remember when you were in elementary school and you gave your friends Indian Burns. This is the same concept. With both hands firmly grasping "Tradition," wring its neck! There you have you it. A dead limp boring tradition gone. No more to cumbersome your life. Lets do the same with the thoughts of Sun Valley. This year was anything but boring and traditional. Take a look. You will not be disappointed.

Coming up are the contestants on the price is wrong. Our three participants were Valene, Alexis and Katherine. Second place in the student competition was VALENE EDWARDS!
