Juke Joint Submissions Judged

Juke Joint was a success inspite of the 80% chance of rain. The rain finally came about 3:30 and then in spurts for the rest of the day. Juke jointing that night was cool and clear.

What fun...we will soon post some pics and the winners of the JJ writing contest!

Holy Cow! What a job putting those submissions up in display. Now that I live 25 miles from the nearest store...I was looking for creative ways to put them up. I landed up putting one submission on a dog diaper...dont tell anyone.!

We have alot of submissions from St George's Day School, but none from the High School or college students...maybe next year.
