A Few More Shots from NXN

As the year winds down, I'm trying to tie off several loose ends. One of those loose ends is posting a few more interesting photos from NXN. Colorado competitors barely appear in these photos, but I thought you'd enjoy them nevertheless. All photos by Jeff and Karen McCoy.

 

I should note that these photos are gorgeous in full resolution and lose a lot when reduced to the size I need to display them here. Monarch is blessed to have the McCoys as in-house photographers!
