A GIANT Thank you to Kim Ward Bacso of River Valley Realty for being our Premier Sponsor. Kim's generosity in covering auction expenses allowed 100% of the sale of the artists' work to be turned into scholarship dollars-$50,000 worth of dollars. Two talented students each received a $25,000 scholarship. And while she was at it, Kim also sponsored the Judge's Choice Award which went to artist Furst for her oil painting Madonna and Shad.
