Is it too soon to be nostalgic for this past weekend?
Another year, another amazing whirlwind of learning, leveling up, and laughing. From the stunning showcases of crafting skill bordering on wizardry, to the passion and positivity on display the whole weekend through, it was an incredible reminder of what we strive for in this community.

Whether it was your first time, or you're a repeat offender, a massive thank you to each and every one of you who took the time to show up, show out, and make it an unforgettable experience.
