I was very fortunate to take Firsts in all the Caricature categories at the Great Plains Woodcarving Show in Wichita, Kansas this past weekend. "Sad End To A Bad Year" won the Single Figure in a Scene, "Deets" for Single Figure, "A Cowboy's Pony" for Animal Figure, and "Distant Drums" for Group. "War Bonnet" only managed a Second place ribbon as there was no Bust category for caricature so it was entered into the Miscellaneous catch-all group. "Distant Drums" also received the Caricature Merit Award and even managed to walk away with "Best of Show". Needless to say I'm quite proud to see my work recognized in such a way. Tom Brown was the Judge.-
The show was one of the best organized events we've attended for quite some time. Over 70 tables and attendance was way up. Randy Landen, the show Chairman, deserves a firm pat on the back.
Congradulations Lynn. It doesn't suprise me on your wins. Keep the web page going as I look forward to your next creation.

Congradulations Lynn, the carvings were great. It was great getting to meet you and you wife and see your carvings up close. I enjoyed visiting with you and all of the great folks at the show. I felt very welcome...even being a new carver.
