K.C. Meets the Governor of Nevada

What an exciting weekend!  K.C. just returned from the 26th Annual Western Art Roundup in Winnemucca, Nevada, with a fistful of awards.  K.C. swept the categories in Mixed Media and Acrylics winning first, second and third place in both categories.  All told she won eight awards including the Indian Heritage Award. 
Mary Jean Kelso joined K.C. on Saturday, Sept. 5th., for a successful book signing.  Janie Robinson's new GAP book "Preston the Not-So-Perfect Pig" illustrated by K.C. was a real child-pleaser.  K.C. is looking forward to the GAP Get-Together and book signing at Barnes & Noble where Janie will be present for their first joint book signing along with seven other GAP authors.  And guess what?  This novice book writer will have the opportunity to read her book to real live children!!!
Another highlight of the weekend was a visit from Nevada Governor Jim Gibbons.  The governor really seemed to enjoy the show and spent quite a bit of time in K.C.'s booth.
