In the largest turnout in Popcorn Festival history, 22 teams competed in the 3 on 3 tournament on Saturday. The crowd at the courts was large all day and the basketball proved very entertaining. It was great to see so many of the youth in the community participating in the event.

Winners of the tournament in the High School/Adults division were Jason Proehl, J.J. Proehl, Peyton Hess and Dietrich Richardson.

In the Middle School division, the champions were Joe Proehl, Jase Canada, Mason Hess and Evan Crouch.

❤️🍿As we've said before, the festival wouldn't happen without volunteers! We greatly appreciate everyone who pitches in to lend a hand!

📣 Here's a special shout out to our middle school students, high school students, and even a few former students 😁:

▪️On Thursday, Mrs. Schneider's and Mrs. Kerley's Work Skills class helped set up the chairs, tables, fans, and hang signs.

▪️Today, The Whiz Bang Science Show ended close to 4:00 and the chairs were put away and the tables were taken down by 4:20! 😲 Jaxson, Jakiya, Nora, Lillian, Shayla, Kindall, Zoe, & Eliza along with Jack, Terrie, Steve, & Calvin proved that many hands make light work.

🙌THANK YOU!!! 🙌❤️🍿

Bags Tournament Results!

Calvin & Ed took home 1st place bragging rights in the social division for the 2nd time in 3 years! The father/son duo of Jason & Riley had their best showing at this event with a runner-up finish! Griffin and Dalton settled for 3rd out of 12 teams after being last year's champion.

In the advanced division, Denny and Kirkland lost their opening match to only fight back to the championship game to face no other than the team that sent them to the losers bracket. It was an intense battle but Denny & Kirkland took down the youngsters in the end. Bobby & Bentley may be young, but they are a force to be reckoned with from Astoria! Rafael & Anthony out of East Peoria took home 3rd place!

It was a perfect day.. thanks to the total of 21 teams that entered this year's tournament. Hope to see you next year!
