Toast of California by Betty Jean Kennedy
Charlene Romanos
There can be no doubt that, when possible, viewing artwork is best done in person. However, with the COVID-19 shutdown of facilities here in our PC community, the Fall Show committee was able to procure FLITE Goodyear’s conference facilities to host the show. On Nov. 7 and 8, ticketed visitors attended the show while observing the COVID-19 guidelines, with masks required and social distancing. Only 36 ticket holders were allowed through the exhibit each hour over the two-day period.
The PCAC show committee was extremely happy with the attendance of approximately 230 guests from the PebbleCreek community, who applauded their efforts to present an in-person show.
Three outside judges viewed the artwork, in person, and presented award ribbons to winners in each category. Cash prizes for first place in each category were made possible by the exclusive sponsorship of the 2020 Fall Show, by Carol and Bill Crawford. The PC Art Club is very grateful for the Crawford’s support and the generosity of FLIGHT Goodyear for donating their conference facilities to make the event possible.
