The 17th Annual Hoffman Global Methodist Church Fine Arts Show was held in West Milton from August 9 to 11.

Those in attendance had the opportunity to vote for their top three favorite pieces among the 56 pieces on display.  Tallying up those votes led to the top three winners being: "Tall Grass" by Regina Whipp in first place; "Frog in Puddle" by Tom Kinarney in second place; and "Falling Water" by Ed Rapp in third place.

First place prize received $400, second place received $300, and third place received $200.  Eleven other pieces received $100 each which include the following: "Skirt" by Helen Blankensip; "The Old Fisherman" by Bill Danzig; "Peace in the Valley" by Debby Gregory; "Joe" by Linda Lock"; "Lagoon Pond-Tisbury" by Julie Lyons; "Rocky Mountain Fall" by Barbara McVety; "Flying Beauty" by Karen Offenbacker; "Sunrise, Sunset" by Lisa Rife; "FURBZILLA" by Xiera Younce; "Self Portrait" by Zella Younce"; and "The Composer" by Haley Dunn.
