    Sorry to send this to everyone, but I thought there might be a few who would be interested who hadn’t signed on for the original date. Norris Titan Talkers were hosting an invite on November 8th, but due to schedule conflicts, decided to postpone. We will instead be hosting our invitational on Tuesday, November 18th. I’ve attached info, but it can also be found on the NSCTA website. Let me know as soon a possible if you plan to attend at all-even a couple entries is great. It will allow us to make arrangements for extra judges and food more accurately. Entries will be due the 14th, but I’ll take changes through Monday the 17th. Happy Forensicating! –Kelly Millington
