We had 11
prize winners this year, although the choices were difficult with so many
amazing entries!
The People's Choice Award: This one was voted on by the people, and the winner
was the honorable Mayor Craig Cates with his 1100 horse power '68 Camero, an
awesome presence of "Conch Muscle" at the show!
Best Conch-cept: Maria Gosha - A well painted island truck topped off with a
thatched "palm frond roof", making a clever Gilligan's Island hide out for her
dog in the back. (Complete with jumper cables actually needed to leave the
show.)
Best paint Job: Key West Flowers owner Runi Goyal - (The artist was Key West's
own Sherry Sweet Tewell). This vehicle was a tropical masterpiece that would
accent any garden in town.
Best in show: Jim and Sandy Waite -- That's right -- 2 winners. This dynamic duo
took it down with their twin "haunted trikes" that took the show. Custom made
out of two Ford Escorts. Outstanding Job!
