Did you know that good celebration compensated for bad weather in DeLand? posted: Oct 29th, 2007 No scores of the NSL Championship 2007 were posted on Friday or Saturday, and the weather forecast for Sunday was not very promising. However, there were enough other events in DeLand last weekend that made it easier to stand the weather pain.
