Ballot Party
Unlike last year, we are unable to host a ballot party at Arma Dei. We kindly ask that all competitors and families leave when the Awards Ceremony finishes so that we can promptly clean and reset the building.
We will request that families take all their personal belongings to their vehicles before the Awards Ceremony begins.
There are nearby restaurants open late to host ballot parties. As a courtesy, we recommend that you call them in advance to alert them that you're coming late with a large party.
