We had a total of 10 entries (total convention membership approximately 800). Everything started on time and we finished announcing awards at 8:40 after a rip-roaring presentation of "Sci-Fi Says You" organized by Chris Garcia. Toastmaster Jay Lake did an impeccable job as master of ceremonies.
Workmanship Judges: Kate Morgenstern and Mette Hedin; clerk Bruce MacDermott
Presentation Judges: Trystan L. Bass, Theresa Mather and Brian Little, clerk Chris Bertani
Thanks to Stuffe and Nonsense for the art doll "Mouton Rouge", presented to the Best in Show winners, and to Margaret Mannat for the sequined masks presented to the Young Fan award winners.
Plus a HUGE Thank You to the gang who organized our green room and house, and the spot-on technical support from the Tech Crew.
