First Place Sculpture - Again! And some good press!

I decided to enter the 'Arts in Harmony' show the local ex-urb of Elk River about 45 minutes outside of Minneapolis. I won the first prize for sculpture there a few years back and was thinking it'd be fun to do it again. I'd always rather have my work out in front of people than sitting in storage and fortunately, I usually win an award or two for my efforts. At the very least that helps defray the cost of not being able to sell much in Minnesota. I also look at it as a way to build value on my resume and social media.
I don't look at is as bragging, but in 'Minnesota Nice' land we've really got to get past this stoic self deprecating culture and blow our own horns since no one else will, eh?

Oh, and here's the newspaper link - even got a photo.
