NOTES: The quilt that won the People's Choice Award was made by Bob Hembree's great-grandmother Dake. She dreamed the pattern and the next morning she starting piecing the quilt. Edith Hembree, Bob's mother, said it had to be over 100 years old.

    The best moonshiner vehicle was selected by guest author Alex Gabbard. Alex said he thought the car looked as though it had just come from a run. The car has been owned by Mr. Dan Gibbs for 31 years. When he purchased it, it had a different engine and drive train than it does now. It had been used for running 'shine in 15 gallon grape jugs when he purchased the car.
