Hey gang!

So here are the final OVERALL results for our Free Market Economy Project.  The list is the same that was on Mr. Long's front board and goes from #1 to #39.  I will put the top 3 lists on later this week.  Overall, I was very happy with the companies and the products that you created.  This was the best group of projects we have ever had!  Nice work everyone. 

I was told that I had quite a bit of "SWAG" and that I looked "snazzy" during our big reveal day.  I will continue to bring the swag as many days as I can.

Last thing....If there are any "redo" or "try again" parts that are being turned in again, the last day to do this is Friday.
