RECEPTION HIGHLIGHTS

A wonderful dry evening accompanied the opening of the Grafton Show on  July 4th.  The town was busting with tourists and visitors many of whom came by to check us out.  Next week our show will be featured at a wedding taking place in the Old Tavern where most of our pieces are being shown.  The awards were presented by Jan Olmstead who was heard saying, "this show certainly is an indicator of how our members continue to raise the bar on quality, creativity and professionalism."

Many thanks to Rob O'Brien and Peter Jeziorski for making this a very successful first-time award show.
