The Ariat High School Campdraft Percentile Cup simply wouldn't be possible without the incredible support of the Pittsworth and District Campdraft Assoc Inc and its dedicated committee. A special thank you to Barry and Deb Standing, whose countless hours of work, practical knowledge and unwavering support have helped shape this event into what it is today. Much of what happens behind the scenes goes unseen, but it certainly doesn't go unnoticed. Whether it's months of planning or the long days on the grounds, they’re always there, quietly ensuring everything runs as it should.

Deb and Barry, together with the entire Pittsworth & District Campdraft Association committee, are a huge part of what makes this event so special. Thank you for your commitment and for everything you continue to do for the next generation of campdrafters.
