Thank you all for the excellent support and participation in our art & film show. The response from the community was unanimous – you guys are very talented! In the art show, there were 102 ballots cast for best of show, with 31 different pieces of art getting at least a single vote. The top six vote getters were (in no particular order) – Pat Hickman (self portrait), Ray Morkeberg (porcupine), Ashton Geelan (painting), Victoria DeShazer (gargoyle), Gunner Jordan (elephant bank) & Marcy Kroeschel (hippo). I will announce the winning artwork and the artist who received the most total votes. (MRS. PALMER)

Many thanks to Mrs. Vestal, Mrs. Palmer and the art/film students for the presentation Tuesday evening. Great job! (SMITH)
