The annual Clayton Creekside Arts Festival took place from March 5th through the 7th. Sponsored by the Clayton Community Library Foundation, the theme for this year's art show was "A Community Comes Together ... Arts, Culture and Nature".
A wide variety of works were entered into this juried show, including paintings, ceramics, recycled art and photography. Last year I entered the show. This year Cathy joined me. Together we entered six of our photographs.
Awards were anounced Friday evening and combined, Cathy and I took home five ribbons. The first three awards were judged on the basis of all arts works, not just the photography division. Cathy won Best Technique for her Polar Bear Migration and I took Best Presentation for Great Egret in Flight. Cathy also won a Judges Choice award for "Portait of a Threatened Species", her classic image of a polar bear. In the Photography division, Cathy took first place with her photo of a brown pelican titled "Preparing for Flight". I followed with a third place finish with my "Bald Eagle Fishing".
Overall the festival was a wonderful event and a great experience for Cathy and I.
Best regards,
Mark and Cathy
