We celebrated Art Glass month by having an Art Glass contest. From May 9th to May 12th, the contest pieces were on display and the "Peoples Choice" Award voting boxes were out. At the Open House on May 12, 2007 we announced the "Peoples Choice" awards and displayed the winning art pieces.
We really want to thank our vendors and sponsors below! Our vendors were very generous this year with donations for the door prizes. We had a drawing every hour beginning at 11:00am. Our final drawing of the day was for a grinder!
The vendor images below will link to their websites, where you can review additional information, such as manuals, news breaks, or other helpful information about the products and items they manufacture or distribute.
We took a lot of pictures of the events that went on, so many that it's too much for one page. The following list has links that take you to the different pages covering the Stained Glass Open House:
