My wife Tana came up with a great idea: a summer coloring contest. I want to extend congratulations to her and to all the participants and winners of Color Troutdale 2005!

What Tana started as SummerFest Color Troutdale 2005 was extended through SummerFest and became a part of Troutdale Paint the Gorge 2005. A reception was held on August 14 at Caswell Gallery showing off all of the participant's drawings.

The participants who turned in their drawings by the deadline have a certificate waiting for them in the Kid's Gallery. Please go and check out all of the wonderful, creative,and absolutely fantastic color drawings.
