Clopton, who functions as the one
of the producers of the event, said the
evening is made easier if the hosts
can pull it off well.
"We have been lucky to have great
hosts in the three years we have done
this," Clopton said. "But Akin and
Steph were especially focused. It is
not an easy event to pull off without a
hitch, but they did a great job.
"It was a fun evening."
