Winner!!!! Three in a row!!!!

ArtiGras turned out really well. Another WIN, starting to become a habit, a wonderful habit. 1st in wood. I was told that all 3 judges were really impressed with Jerry's work.

This last weekend was The Gasparilla Festival. Jerry captured another top award, the $3,500 Mayor's Award. This show was in downtown Tampa, right on the river. Pictures-Winners flag for AritGras, Jupiter and Gasparilla, Tampa University (across the river from the show)

The next and last show of the season will be in April, "Mainsail Arts Festival" April 16th through April 17th. Location: St. Petersburg's beautiful downtown waterfront Vinoy Park.

Mt.Dora Art Festival!

Jerry won Judges Choice in 3 Dimensional at the Mt Dora Arts Festival. Also mentioned in the Orlando Sentinel along with 2 other top award winners. He still can't believe he won. The piece "Party Cloudy" was a perfect name for the weekend. It rained off and on Saturday, but the people would go in and come back out every time, like you pushed a button. Everyone had umbrellas, big crowds, great neighbors, sold a few pieces inspite of the rain.
THIS SHOW IS RATED IN THE TOP TWENTY OUTDOOR ART SHOWS IN THE SOUTHEAST .....YOU DONE GOOD!
It is so nice to see a woodturner in the top award winners.
Next show will be Presidents Weekend, a 3 day show in Jupiter. Jerry was invited back this year because he won a first in wood last year!!!!! Only doing 4 shows this year, still has a day job.
