TheKanssn By James Jordan Newton Kansan Book featuring Blue Sky Sculpture grabs awardNEWTON, Kansas - The Kansas Sampler Foundation's latest book, "Eight Wonders of Kansas Guidebook," recently won a gold medal from the North American Travel Journalists Association. The book was put together by Marci Penner, director of the foundation. The Eight Wonders of Kansas has been a project of Penner's for a couple of years as she got Kansans to vote on the top attractions in the state, and uses the book to promote the state. The Blue Sky Sculpture in Newton was one of the Eight Wonders of Art. Other categories were architecture, cuisine, customs, geography and people. There also was a final group of eight from all categories. The North American Travel Journalists Association considered publications from around the world. The Eight Wonders book was first in the Travel Guide category, ahead of guidebooks for Jamaica and the South Beaches of Rhode Island. |
It is not surprising at all that Phil Epp was a finalist for his sculpture "The Blue Sky". What a vision he had for creating this public art piece. It really comes together both design and message. When I saw this, I was instantly drawn to it, I still am! |
