A single ballot was drawn from the voters and the person to receive the beautiful "Geert Maas" bronze apple was Kristen Wride from Lake Country.

Many youngsters participated in the scavenger hunt for the 50's trivia, and winner of the collection of toys from the 50's goes to Finn Deschner from Cherryville.
