The Committee thanks all these artists and the three
Judges, Jackie Heath, Trish Gordon, and Lisa Prizio.
Also, our “Artist of the Year,” John Downs, Wood
Carver. This was a new feature of the show,
suggested by Lori Baldwin.
All day, John and his large table full of beautiful
wood carvings was surrounded by visitors, admiring
the table full of carvings, watching John at work
and asking him questions!
John has been an exhibitor in the Art Show for many
years. We were honored to see more of his work, and
more of him.
Grateful thanks go out to our many helpers,
Elizabeth and Thomas Morse. To Barbara Angevine,
George Roberts, Frank Bosiak, Lori Baldwin and to
any whose names I may have missed!

talented young people.
