During the awards ceremony, Chairman Nagashima delivered a speech, and participants received various prizes, including local Yaizu specialties and sponsored feed from manufacturers. Although the event proceeded at a busier pace than usual due to the fireworks festival taking place nearby, it concluded successfully with the cooperation of all participants.
