"The teams were better in terms of the quality of jumpers on the floor. The skill level con tinues to improve." Another plus for the tourna ment, said Peebles is the increase in spectators. She explained that much of that increase is due to more parental support "But there's more to it than just mom and dad," Peebles added. "It's good to see so many family members coming out to watch the kids compete. You have brothers, sisters, uncles, aunts, cousins, and other kin people coming out. That's the kind of support these kids need and it really helps the Double Dutch program." WESTtN TRAVEL OF THE WEEK Weston Travel is pleased to recognize Mose' Belton Brown as our Ram of the Weok.
