The Festivus Games was effectively amazing. Congratulations to all the athletes. Pyro got a podium finish across all divisions. We’ll be posting the final results tomorrow. Thanks to all the volunteers that made this event as awesome as it was. Seriously, you guys all made it happened. Without judges, volunteers, helpers moving gear around, setting bars, score keeping and everything else this event would have been a disaster. Sounds cliche but we’re truly grateful to have such an amazing community. We really believe we’re surrounded by a special group of individuals. Sweet skillz!!!
