When you go to the Destination Dillon page under Events on this website, why is it pink? - ANSWER NOW -
Those who participated in the previous survey question - Do you prefer the WCB Competition format with all 2-person classes or with an individual class? We welcome your reasons as well! - gave lots of feedback. Here's what you think: keep it mixed up. Two man classes are great for comradery but you still have to be able to build some shoes by yourself; I think there should be a speed forging class to warm up. And I like the one individual class. Practicing for Calgary takes skill in running a fire on your own. I have found it tough after having a striker always running my fire. So Yes I would like to see an individual, but still like two man as well. we should have both worlds, after all we are the World Championship Blacksmiths!!!; I think an individual class every now and then is ok, but I also like working with someone too; I do like the individual class. It makes it a lot easier to get a practice session in by yourself instead of running around trying to find a striker; Depends on what shoe you're making and what size stock you're using; no, I do better in the individual; 2 man classes I think they are a lost part of our trade and are very valuable; I would like to bring back the individual class. Thank you for your input!
