I have watched with interest this topic on the forum. It seems to me that this another tale of how people in Topeka have no inclination of what it is like living in Western Kansas. I grew up in Western Kansas and love it there. There are so many advantages. The disadvantage is that you have to drive several hours to events. Asking for a day off of work is okay if you work in an office but not okay if you work at school or farm. What happens when there is only a few people in the club that can drive the kids down but there are more kids than room? My question is not about the Saturday weigh in, it is about the unfairness of cutting off the weigh in at 7:00pm. In reality, that means that you need to plan to be there at 6:00 so that if anything happens on the road (flat tire, ect.), you still have some time. I think that if things were reversed and the State Tournament were in Western Kansas, you would see all the people in Topeka complain if they had to drive down and weigh in before 7:00.
