They also had a cafeteria and employer lounges for the employers which kept everyone energized throughout the four-hour-long event.

The mayor of Williston, Howard Klug, made the rounds in the Skadeland gym. His opinion on the event was very optimistic, and he seemed in high spirits chatting with the locals and taking in the atmosphere.
