Co-directors Ingrid Loy and Alexa Loy, the co-directors of the competition, thanked the contestants and their families for helping to make it a success, the judges of the event, the Wellsburg Christian Church for the use of their building and the students of Wheeling Central Catholic High School to unload and sort the many cans.
