Alright then, here we go.

This is the contest for the older youth of the IAP.
This is where we show what the future
will be in pen turning.

Kids, don't let them tell you they haven't any time to get your pens done.
Get out and get your shop time.
You don't want to miss out on the great prizes we have for this years Bash.

Good luck to all who enter.
