Once again, the photo
contest brought some great photos and some stiff competition in some
categories. The Best of Show was won by a new comer, Joel
Roberts. Another new member, Matt Crews, also had much success, both
in the photo contest, and the exhibits. A special thanks goes to
those who got there early and helped to set up the room. The night
was enjoyed by all. There were many cool things to see there.
In addition to the winners, other things included some of Sandra's
kingsnakes "doing the wild thang" near the end of the
evening. Joel had some AWESOME displays of art. His wood
burned items with various herps on them were just stunning. A story
on that will follow online in the near future. Matt and April also
had some Madagascar hognose snakes that are seldom seen. Lynn and
Yvonne did an outstanding job handling the t-shirts and ballots for the
contests. Manny, as usual, was excellent as an emcee for the
awards. Melissa was cruising the floor with her adult bearded
dragon. There was also 4 successful adoptions (2 adult iguanas still
need homes). Two sliders, a snapping turtle, and a tarantula found
new homes.
