We Searched the World to find Mr. Spanish Fork, and it did not disappoint.  The night started with the swimsuit competition. Sawyer Hamilton walked out with some sass and Tanner Parker's flippers and goggles really added to his ensemble.

Watching a veteran of sales (30+ years) demo a brand new 2016 C450 AMG Mercedes-Benz Sedan was definitely a treat and a learning experience.  Feedback from students indicated they were very impressed by how well Mr. Hoerner knew his product.
