Creative Art Award

In Memory of Suzanne Fauser, lost 02/08/2001, Instead of the artist of the show we are now

presenting this award to the most creative artist working at the expo, The judges will

choose the winner by the work done here this weekend, by their photo album, and by

tattoos that people are wearing. Presented Sunday at the close of this years event.

We also lost Kim Strickland 01/14/2001, another one of our very talented artist who

worked this expo in the past.

Our prayers go out to their loved ones who must continue life's journey without them.
