They're Baaaaaack!

As a follow-up to last years incredibly successful Festival of Fins, 35 participating artists have painted/decorated/constructed a smaller 24" tabletop version of the fish.
The fish will be on display for the public's enjoyment Wednesday, August 8th, between 10:30 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. in the lobby of the Bank One Building located at 201 St. Charles Avenue.
As with the fish on display last year, artists have let their imaginations run wild with themes running the gamut from a fish that looks like Louis Armstrong to one that looks like your mother's "tomato pin cushion."
The fish will be auctioned at the Young Leadership Council's annual Role Model Awards Gala Saturday evening, August 25th at the Fairmont Hotel.  Forms will be available on Wednesday for individuals wanting to place absentee bids.
