A lovely evening!
I arrived at about 4:30pm to help Kathy Berls and Lorraine Miller set up the food. They are the old pros at doing these events so I wasn't much help, but I enjoyed their company. Welcome back Loraine, glad all is well with your son.
The juror, Gene Youngmann, was able to attend the reception and mingle with the award winners and other artists. A very nice gesture on his part.
It was fun for me to see old friends and meet new ones. The event was well-attended and I'm pretty sure everyone had a great time.
We ended promptly at 7pm as there was a Lakewood Symphony performance and reception following ours. I'm sure the concert goers enjoyed the art as well.
Congratulations to all the award winners!
