Things are winding down here in the Lockpicking Village at The Next HOPE.  I just finished uploading some great pictures of the weekends events to the photo gallery.  L.I successfully hosted two competitions, Lockpicking Wizard and 24 Hours of Locks.  The 24 Hours of Locks competition ran from  5:00pm Friday to 5:00pm Saturday and a total of 17 people competed. Below is a list of the top 5 competitors:

Since the first 3 contestants are L.I members, prizes were given to the two runner up contestants, Chris and Jake. Their picture is above.

In Lockpick Wizard, there were two finalists, Doug Farre and Schuyler Towne.  For the final round both contestants were blind-folded to the audience's delight.  Schuyler won the contests after 8 excruciating minutes, opening five out of the ten available locks while Doug only opened two.
