Sorry this is posted so late. Home and job pressures prevented me doing much
of anything extra since the show.
We had a really lovely show thanks to all the wonderful exhibits that were
entered. The judges, Bob Lipe and John Chesler for the Scientific Categories
and Betty Lipe for the Artistic Categories, really had a tough time. They
spent almost four hours judging the show. We really thank them and feel they
did a wonderful job.

the weather. Thank you to all who came and supported us. If you want to see
