The Missouri Day art show was a popular meeting place for artisans, crafters, alumni, visitors and appreciative spectators. Guest artists Steve Metzner and Loni Conder added their talents to make an outstanding show.

The Fowler City crew turned the old kindergarten room into a great show place and the Art Show Committee and the CFWC Fowler Progress Club conducted a successful viewing. More than five hundred dollars was raised for the fine arts scholarship. This year’s recipient of the scholarship was Georgia Collins.
