Judy King won two Best in Category ribbons. Mildred Stickney, Lloyd Bradley and Wynona Joye each won a Best in Category ribbon.

Every piece entered was judged to be of excellent or very good quality. Winners of blue and red ribbons were: Ida Ford, Judy King, Lloyd Bradley, Addie Hines, Mildred Stickney, Faye Williams, Faye Lynch, Judy Blackwell, Wynona Joye, Judy Ellam and Anna Winn.

Pam Doty, director of The Meeting Place, said, We are very proud of these winners. Every year since 2003, our ceramics class has taken major awards at this show. Under Carolyn Bradleys tutelage and encouragement, they have produced some very fine pieces. They never cease to amaze me!
