Shooting Stars Thanksgiving Tournament 2024

We took a trip to Richmond (Midlothian), Virginia, for the Thanksgiving Field Hockey Tournament.  This was a repeat for me from 2023.  I went alone then.  I was hoping for a nice trip, but it was too cold.

I will say that none of the problems were really due to the tournament management.  They always do a nice job.  It was just a cold and creepy trip.
