Since I was located a good distance from the speakers, it was nice to have some live, soft viiolin and flute music as a backdrop to the event. The number of lights illuminating the buffet tables and the general area made it a bit difficult for some depending on their location, but the audience was able to see enough to be genuinely appreciative. I was surprised at the number of people who showed up who confessed to having unused SCTs in mothballs at home. Hopefully, this reawakened their interest. I was also pleasantly surprised at the number of people who asked good questions or expressed how they felt/thought about what they were seeing. All in all, I thought this was a good event.
