Our local daily paper -- the one which kindly prints my columns on Fridays, at no charge, has finally gotten around to mentioning who won the categories at last month's Adult Amateur Artist competition... today.
I'm blogging pretty much the entire text, and I'll probably catch aytch-ee-double-toothpicks for it, but they archive stuff pretty quickly, & make it otherwise inaccessible, and I want to make sure that Mom's bragging rights can go on for a while (I added the bold text):
The Buchanan Center for the Arts has announced the winning entries in the Second annual Midwest Bank Adult Amateur Artist competition.
Monday, June 6, 2005 12:37 PM CDT
'The work just keeps getting better,' Executive Director Michael DiFuccia said. 'We have 50 entries, ranging from sculpture to needlepoint. The exhibit is a wonderful testament to the talents of the amateur artist.'
