Mark Twain St. Joseph Hospital is hosting their annual Spring Health Fair today with radio 93.5 KKBN. http://www.kkbn.com/2010/02/mark-twain-st-josephs-hospital-first-spring-health-fair
Coming in this morning I couldn't believe my eyes! The parking lots were full with overflow lots near so. I would say this years Health Fair was quite the success. The earlybirds were here for the blood tests. That required fasting 24 hours so the earlier they were here the sooner they could have breakfast! Kudos to Mark Twain for another successful event. Till next year!

Thank you Judges!
Ironstone Vineyards wishes to thank Exec. Vice Pres., Academy of Art University, San Francisco, Melissa Marshal and Drawing Instructor, Academy of Art University, SF Craig Marshall for their valued assistance in selecting this years Open Division Winners. With 101 paintings of all media and subject matter, it was no easy task. The selection process took a great deal of time to afford careful thought, review and collaboration between the two. I can attest from past exhibits, this isn't always easy and can take much of an afternoon.
All in all, the choices were well received. Both Melissa and Craig made themselves available at the reception for all attending artists to grill for information and observations on their works and styles. I have always appreciated access to judges for input on my works as a learning and growing opportunity.
Again, thank you Melissa & Craig for a wonderful job...
