Handmade Lighthouse Quilt by Joan Johnston (Jim Johnston's wife)

I received two AP Pottawatomies today to auction off at the 150th Celebration banquet on May 17th. They do look very nice! They are signed by Bill, Nancy, and Harry.

Suzanne,

Does that mean that now this drawing will be for one of the three. 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th prizes? Or will these be two different events?

No, it will be separate. At this point we are planning to auction them.

WINNERS:

Barbara Greenfeldt of Washington Island was thrilled to win Joan Johnston's lighthouse quilt.

Gloria Swigart of Florida was the winner of the Audrey M. Off painting.
