Not sure if we even tried to host......but Pittsburg...in the recent past being the only 5A in the area, we have traveled long distances, Ark City last year, Wichita area the two prior years, always at least 2 hours if not 3.
I thought we would of had a chance to host, We moved to 4A, have never hosted....that I know of. But no complaining here, Ft.Scott is only 30 miles away, get to sleep in own bed.
