On opening day of the third Youth NABC, no Energizer Bunnies were needed. Youngsters were registering, buying entries, trying to guess the Mystery Bridge Hand, filling out convention cards, renewing acquaintances from previous tournaments and just generally racing around the Mardi Gras Ballroom at the Marriott. It was just what the organizers were hoping for. About 100 young people registered in advance for the three-day tournament, and there were about a dozen walkups. Tournament Chair Dana Norton said, “It went really well, and the volunteers have been absolutely wonderful.” Norton singled out Volunteer Chair Suzanne Cliffe and Partnership Chair Eileen Morning Cardrook Pairs winners Spencer Dyen Bagnetto.

Who is more flexible, a young bridge player or a ferret? Who can crawl faster, a snake or a boy? If there was an Olympic contest pitting animals versus humans, who would win? That was the question the ZOOmobile from the local Audubon Institute asked when they came to the NABC yesterday. The ZOOmobile staff amused and informed bridge players after Thursday’s game. Audience participation was encouraged, and bridge players asked questions, picked up bugs from the floor with tongs, jumped like a frog and were entertaining and entertained. After the demonstration, young bridge players lined up to touch and pet the animals. The Olympics ended in a 3--3 tie, so the youngsters were left wondering about the answer to the original question. Bridge players touch a skink held by a zoo attendant. The ZOOmobile from the local Audubon Institute brought animals to the NABC yesterday. Page 12 Youth NABC Bulletin
