I wanted the winners of the first VCF Computer Faire to be recognized, so
here is the list. I plan to put up a web page listing the winners along
with a photo of each exhibitor in front of their exhibit. I hope to have
it up within a couple weeks.
Note to any exhibitors reading this: we'll be getting ribbons for all 2nd
and 3rd place winners, as well as the 1st place winners who didn't get a
ribbon (because we ran out :) We at the VCF felt everyone who placed
should get recognition for putting in the effort to help make the exhibit
the success it was. I'll be contacting all exhibitors by e-mail to get
your address in about a week or so.
The exhibits were fantastic! I hope more people will participate next
year.
