AzGourd Society's Annual Gourd Competition
The Arizona Gourd Society thanks the Wuertz family for another fantastic festival. It was an exciting event with something for everyone.

We would also like to thank all the people who entered the competition. All the entries were excellent examples of what the best artists can accomplish with the simple gourd. Competition was stiff and the judges did a fantastic job selecting the category winners. These are listed later in the records and will be posted here by the end of February.

The People’s Choice Award was given to Willie Wilson a new comer to gourd art. The winning gourd was her fifth production and it was a crowd pleaser. Way to go Willie, keep up the good gourding.





















The dinner meeting was a success, food was excellent and the camaraderie of all the members and guests made for a fun filled evening. Thank you to all vendors that provided door prizes for the festivities. OO’s and AH’s and cheers were heard with each gift presented. Thanks for the excellent gifts.

Hopefully all had the same experience as we did at the festival. See all of you again at the  2011 Wuertz Festival and competition on Feb 3, 4, 5, 6.

People's Choice - Willie Wilson
