2009 Rural America Photography and Youth Art Show Winners

The Seventh Annual Rural America Photography and Youth Art Show held during the 2009 Lamar Free Fair (August 26-29) was a huge success! Photographs and art from lots of very talented young people filled the long, plate glass storefront windows of Nathan’s Place on the West side of the square, and based on the number of “People’s Choice” ballots cast, we estimate that approximately 2,000 people stopped to view the display at some time during the fair. That’s a great turn-out!

The “People’s Choice” trophies were awarded to:
