Wow, great timing for my speakers to not work. /Sarcasm.
I really want to watch this video! I'll have to watch it when my speakers are working. Congratulations to Abraham and all the other winners and whatnot. c:

Susan, I hope you got to hear this video. There are some great tips by the judges! The Jr. Duck Stamp program has a traveling art display and I have contacted LL Bean to see if they might be interested in participating in it. If they are, it would bring the actual artworks close by so that we could see them. The competition also has a conservation essay portion. You might be interested in doing that. Winners get another prize for that. Sales of the stamps go to acquiring and preserving wetland habitats. More later.
