90 Novas, 18 States, One Incredible Weekend!

---

 From the moment the first Nova cruised in, it was clear: this club knows how to put on a show. With 112 pre-registrations from 18 states and 90 Novas rolling in from 15 states, the energy was electric and the community stronger than ever. 

Teamwork Makes the Dream Work

The club came together beautifully, with every member playing a part in making the event smooth, welcoming, and unforgettable. From early setup on Wednesday, to ease the weekends upcoming chaos, to each day leading up to awards on Saturday, the team was well constructed. Some may even call it a family. 

Food, Fun & Ice Cream

Thursday, attendees wore cheesy smiles as they sunk their teeth into fresh Happy Joe's pizza. 

Friday, we kept cool with an ice cream social. There's nothing better than frozen dairy and friendly faces.

All weekend, Bally's bartenders tended to the needs of the club, with food, ice, and cool refreshments. We appreciate all the helping hands.

Friday Night Vibes with Crankshaft!
We had the pleasure of hosting the band Crankshaft on Friday—and wow, did they deliver! Their energy was electric, their sound unforgettable, and their interaction with the crowd made the night feel like one big jam session with friends. It was the perfect soundtrack to an already incredible weekend.
