Artistic Division
The competition in the Artistic Division was limited to who would win, who would come in second and who would come in third. There was only three entrees, a let down from the 15 or so entrees we had last year. (All 10 niches were filled and the mini arrangements were located elsewhere.) The three we had were very well recieved and we give thanks to those who took the time and effort to enter. We also suggest that other members start planning for next year. Here are the results:
First Place “Coffee in the Livingroom” by Rita Lesniak
Second Place “Dinner for Eight” by Christine Fox
Third Place “Only the Rose” by Millie Walters
