Artists in a nine county area were eligible to participate in the show. Besides Ringgold county, other area counties included Adair, Adams, Clarke, Decatur, Madison, Taylor, Union and Warren.
Dr. JOHNSON judged and critiqued each work in the show and noted that there was great improvement in the quality and quantity of work since he was here four years ago.

Before the show in the afternoon, a business meeting was held, led by Louise COTHRON of Kellerton, Area 10 coodinator and Iowa Artist board member.
Discussion centered on next year's regional show. Beverly ROBERTS of Truro, representing Madison county, volunteered to be the new area coordinator and host for the 2006 art show.
Two new awards were added this year -- viewer's choice and judge's choice -- and several compliments were received for doing so.
Members and guests were invited to draw numbers for door prizes, which were supplied by show sponsors.
Deb DERSCHEID introduced her father, Ron REASONER of Ellston, who gave a talk and demonstration on wood carving, with quesions answered after the presentation.
