Best Bagger in AZ 2005
Participated in a bagging competition at my local Bashas' store. Won that and two other regional competitions, which led me to State. I won that one and went on to Nationals in Las Vegas, NV. I came in fourth. I was able to earn almost $2000 in prize money and it was so much fun!
