What a Great Show!

The 2011 ADDYs Awards show was a HUGE success! Thanks to everyone who entered and attended the show. Along with that goes a special thank you to Ann Eads, this year’s Addy Chair and her committee for all of their blood, sweat and tears that goes into the planning and preparing for the awards.

Congrats to all the ADDY Awards winners. With out all of our great creative entries this year there would be no ADDYs here localy. And we predict that next year should be even better… now it is time to get back to the drawing board to create award winners for the 2012 ADDYs!

Also, honored was Margaret Skillman for being selected the 2011 AAF-Black Hills Silver Medal Recipient. Click here to read more about her and the Silver Medal Award.
