2023 Patterson Results
From: Brian Vannest

Another fabulous Patterson contest this past weekend. Weather was great around 35 degrees in the morning but warming up fast and in the mid 70’s by afternoon.
Very calm conditions in 3rd to 4th rounds,
Thanks to Janna and Linda for helping with the hot dog lunch.
