I was going to tell tobytorkn that a new SPA chapter has been started in New Jersey since he said:

"...wish we had a few spa contests up north!"

But, then I saw that he lives in Ohio. That's not really close to NJ so I figured my post would be of no help to him.

At any rate, a gentleman named James Hamilton has gotten his new SPA chapter approved, so for those of you "up north" you will probably have some SPA contests in your area this year.
