Award Ceremony for BLU at MS&W during the lunch meet & greet

This is is BLU membership chair Jolene Vezzetti (in blue) talking with the 2010 BFL Youth Conservation Award winner, Jacob Moore. Rachel Goodpaster donated the ewe he will be receiving through this program that is sponsored by the Maryland Sheep & Wool festival. Jolene gave Jake and his mother, Glenda, a nice packet of information as new members of BLU. She also gave Jake some BFL roving to spin.

This is BLU Vice-president, Margaret VanCamp, presenting BLU founder and former secretary/treasurer, Kelly Ward a token of our appreciation for the 10 years of service she gave BLU. Kelly was instrumental in getting BLU off to a good start, and continues to offer her support and guidance to the new BLU board.
Kelly reading the inscription. On the front is engraved the BLU logo. Inside are BFL cookies and blue M&Ms with BLU and "blue is finer" printed on them. This is me with the original of the artwork Kris Barndt(current BLU secretary) designed for the calendar for the first BFL national show held in Rhinebeck at that show and festival. The ewe pictured is my SHF Clio, with her twins, Kerryn and Jerviswood. Kerryn is the mother of the quads that were born to the Fraleys here in Ohio this spring. Kris gave it to me as a thank you for serving as the first BLU president.
