The 2008 Wildfire Show was a success!
Inspite of a downturn in the economy the show this year was quite successful. Attendance and revenue was down from last year but in view of what has happened to the local and national economy the majority of artists did well. The location and venue at Seven Peaks School is proving to work well for the show and attendees and we plan on continuing there for the 2009 show.
Check back for dates and times for the first Wildfire 2009 planning/ committee meeting and the Wildfire 2009 Show.
The Best of Show for the 2008 Wildfire Show were Linda Heisserman in the functional category and Norman Frater in the sculptural category.
