Fall Festival Best in Show Winner

Happy to announce some of our weekend award winners. Micki Voorhies won our Bonnie Hall Best in Show Award for excellence in her artwork and display. She has been featured on Oregon Art Beat, –where you can find out how she can create with those lovely red nails–and is a veteran of the art festival world. This year she brought a paired down, very elegant booth of her signature shoe sculptures. We hope she returns next year with more of her great work.

The Bonnie Hall Best in Show Award is a tribute to former artist, Corvallis Fall Festival Board member and Patron of the Arts, Bonnie Hall. Her botanical prints were a popular item for many years at the festival. The award given each year features one of Bonnie’s last serigraphs, a Brown’s Peony. We were lucky that Jim Hall was on hand to help us deliver the award honoring Bonnie.

At our Fine Art Showcase, Andrew Newell’s piece “The Organist” won the People’s Choice Award. Andrew will be invited to participate in next year’s show again.

Thanks to Rich Walters for these two photos, and many more!
