Thanks to Nora for sending these photos and the following update last night from Orlando:

"After a practice this morning Mackenzie and I got to escape to have some fun at Disney World's Islands of Adventure!! Mackenzie's favourite ride of the day was The Hulk and I have to agree with her on that! Now it's sleep time before we enjoy an amazing day tomorrow as Mackenzie competes against the best of the best in North America! Wishing her the best of luck tomorrow!!"

Many thanks to Nora who sent this photo and update from Orlando Florida, where she is presently attending the NAFC "Belt" Championships with Mackenzie C:

"After arriving last night in Orlando at 6pm, we welcomed the sunshine and warmer weather! Mackenzie and I are practicing now at the hotel before her big feis day tomorrow! She has 25 dancers in her championship category and 4-6 in her separate Traditional Set, Reel and Treble Jig competitions. Mackenzie would like to say a huge thank you to her friends and family for giving her all the extra support and encouragement this week! She is so grateful and overwhelmed with the outpouring of support she's received without expecting anything!"

Good Luck in Orlando Mackenzie!

NPIDA sends our best wishes to Mackenzie C who is presently en route with Nora to attend the NAFC Belt competition in Orlando this weekend! Mackenzie says "I am really excited to be a part of this coveted event. To qualify you need to have placed 1st in an Open Championship competition at an NAFC Feis within one calendar year of the event. Only one winner is announced, and no other marks are distributed".

Mackenzie sent these two photos and noted "After a 3:00AM start we are in Denver waiting for our flight to Florida". Thanks Mackenzie; good luck and have fun !
