Each year, the attendance grows. This year was the first year we had to turn people away because we just didn't have the space for them." Nevada Air National Guard State Command Chief Michael Drisdale said, "It's great to see the support from the families, we will plan for a larger space next year!"
The winners will go on and represent the Nevada Guard in national level Airmen of the Year competitions.
