To the Editor,

Thanks to the community, the Toppenish Western Art show was again a brilliant success.  

Twenty-five artists and their support teams from all through out the Northwest came and stayed in our hotels, ate in our restaurants and drew their patrons to Railroad Park in spite of the blistering temperatures.  

The weekend ran like a well-oiled machine thanks to our membership and board.  I wish I could thank you each personally for your jobs well done.

Thanks to Paul Newman who once again helped out as auctioneer to raise money for our scholarship.

Thanks to our patrons who give the seed money to make the event possible.  

We also appreciate the share of the Toppenish Tourism Fund that helped us promote the event.

And thank you, Review Independent, for putting us on the front page two weeks in a row!

Linda Steinmetz, President
Toppenish Western Art Show
