Thanks to all who attended the Fifth Annual Effingham Artisan Fair!

Even though the weather did not cooperate - the Artisan Fair and Arts and Hearts nights were a success.  This could not have been done without the support of ALL of sponsors and help from the committee members. 

The winners this year were:

Best of Show - Mississippi Mud Pottery - Alton, IL
1st Place 2D - Lynn Reznick - Vandalia, Il
1st Place 3D - Jill Bush - Champaign, IL
