Saturday brought with it the Popular Vote show, and the parking lot bristled with GTOs new and old, all shined up for spectator and participant inspection. It was an awe-inspiring sight to see all these Goats completely surrounding the host hotel. That evening, the awards ceremony put the final punctuation on the action-packed national GTO event.
