They are, from left: Jean Frick (amateur Reserve Best of Show), Darcy DeLeon (professional Best of Show), Debbie Shellhaas (amateur Reserve) and Carolyn Lashuay (amateur Best of Show). DeLeon, who serves as president of the Logan County Art League, was excited to see the number of entries they received double what came in for 2023. “I really encourage artists all over Logan County to watch for opportunities to be involved next year,” she said.
