Miss
Lewis Wins NFLCC
Best of Show.
At this year’s NFLCC
(National Fishing Lure Collectors Club) National
Show & Meeting, held on July 12, 13 and 14 in
Knoxville, TN, Miss Morgan Lewis, age 12, tied
for first place in the youth division with her
Heddon & Southbend lure exhibit.
Approximately 15 young people
from across the country brought displays to the
competition. Miss Lewis was pleasantly surprised
at the club business meeting when Gibby Gibson,
NFLCC President, called her to the stage and
awarded her with the Best of Show plaque.
Her father, Downtown Carthage
UPS driver Rob Lewis, said, "Morgan had no
intention of actually winning anything. She just
thought it would be neat to take along her
collection to display. I always remind people
that Morgan has traded for, or purchased, almost
every lure in her display, and is very
knowledgeable concerning the tackle she collects.
She travels with me to several Tackle meets
throughout the Midwest, and is one of the Youth
co-hosts of the region 7 NFLCC meet held in
January every year in Carthage.
"I know that I’m very
lucky to have a daughter that shares interests in
the same activities I do. When not on the brown
truck you will find us together somewhere. These
kids grow up so fast, and in such a fast world. I
want every minute I can spend with her!"
Morgan and Rob frequently make
themselves available for free identification and
appraisal of old lures.

Wow.........you know that old
saying.....when it rains it pours.......well we
found out recently ( and the hard way ) that when
it rains lightening is close behind and really,
really ruins your computer, phone lines,
etc.......the worst part (besides the cost of a
new modem and installation !) is realizing how
much time we spend in front of this goofy machine
and how mixed up your days are until it's back
!!!
Now that we're back on
track.......artCamp starts next week ! We do have
a Saturday class.....Collage .......that has room
for a few more kids. One spot is left in the
Chinese class and the Mosaic class ( both 2 day
classes ). As a reminder to parents.......kids
need to bring a sack lunch, we have pop available
for fifty cents and a refrigerator and microwave
if needed.
Kids should be dropped off a
bit before 10am to ensure classes starting on
time and picked up at 2:30pm. While we appreciate
parents arriving early to pick up their
kids.....trust me......the kids do not want to
see their mom there thirty minutes (or even
fifteen minutes) before class ends. For some
reason they all hate being the first one to leave
!! Go figure !
We want to say thanks to all
the parents and grandparents who are taking time
out of their busy schedules to bring the kids
here ! We're sure everyone will be pleased in the
end !
The new exhibit is up at
Shellie's. Janet Carpenter, Kansas City, brought
her work down and we got it hung on Sunday.
Looks great....check it out
over ( a personal favorite ) a California bacon
sandwich.....or whatever.......207 W. Third, one
block west of the square. Janet's work will be
there until October 13.
Our Membership Show opening
last Friday night was great ! We have a panel of
judges who pick Best of Show for a fifty dollar
prize. This year we had a tie. The two artists
will split the big bucks and we offer our
congratulations to them. This year's winner(s)
Debbie Reed for her mixed media piece titled
Masks and yours truly for a limestone sculpture
titled Destrier owned by Don Knost.
The Membership Show will be in
the main gallery until August 16th so there is
lots of time to get in and check it out ! We sold
three pieces at the opening but that means there
are at least 20 more still for sale!!
Speaking of sales......we want
to thank Richard Logsdon for exhibiting with us.
He had a wonderful show which was proven by the
fact that we sold eight ( YES...8 !!) of his
paintings !! It is a record for us !! And even
better....for those that missed out....we hope to
install his work at Shellie's this coming January
!! He'll have to paint, paint, paint !! Go
Richard Go !
We are very excited to announce
that since November we have sold almost 10,000
dollars worth of original, local art !!
Honestly........we
rock............
More next week......For more
info call 358-4404. Hours : Tuesday - Friday 11am
- 5pm. Sunday Noon - 5pm 1110 E. 13th Street ( 2
