What an exciting regional so far! Let’s thank the tournament hospitality staff for all their efforts, awarding daily door prizes, hidden coffee vouchers, cash prizes, and candy bowls to all. I personally won none of those things except for the latter – but I will say the candy quality is top notch.
No tootsie rolls, jaw breakers, or other weak options here – you will find strong and invitational holdings: Butterfinger, fun-size Snickers (not the square minis, but the rectangular bars), Babe Ruth, Twix Left and Twix Right. Someone even told me they found Almond Joy! We went bowl-by-bowl, rummaging together, but could not confirm the rumor.
