After watching this video, you’ll think… “Only 2 Contestants?”.

Yes, well, that’s not the primary reason for a contest.  It’s a about getting people to come out in Gear.    Which it did. There was a good turn out of people in Chicago and visiting cities. It was a very social night.  In fact, not to come across rude, but many of didn’t know the contest ended (“this is a long intermission“) because we were introducing several “Newbies” to everyone.  In my humble opinion, making new people feel welcome in the Community is really what any event is about.

But, of course, CONGRATS!!! to Jesse “J. Morty Beaverhausen” of Des Moines, Iowa on becoming Mr Midwest Rubber 2013… and thank you to my “Pup Ruff” (my Pup Twin) for sharing the video with us.  Full article HERE.    You can also see photos from the Chicago Rubbermen’s anniversary party held on Friday night.
