2009 Silver Dollar Fair
I entered three portraits in the Professional class in the 2009 Silver Dollar Fair in Chico, California. My portrait of "Uncle Denman" was awarded a first place and "Best of Show". My portrait "Faces of Oroville - David Bruce" was awarded a third place.

I also entered my portrait "Faces of Oroville - Jim Moll". While this was my favorite piece, it failed to arouse the interest of the judges and to my surprise it did not place.
