Even though ISU staff were housed for a while in the cooler with a lot of other travelers waiting out the storm, ice cream sales were brisk.

In the cooler, waiting for tornados to pass. Somewhere in Oklahoma Saturday evening.

Awards

Congrats to our Iowa award winners in the C&A. And to all ACE members who received awards.

ISU's Brian Meyer, Barb McBreen, Alyx Bigelow, Mary Sailer, Bob Elbert, Carol Ouverson, Jed Findlay, Loren Porter, Jean McGuire, Brent Pringnitz, Rachel Klein, Allan Schmidt, Susan Thompson and Julie Mangels were all honored this evening. Did I miss anyone?

And kudos to all award recipients this evening. What a talented organization.

Thanks to all who brought award exhibits to share...it is very helpful for ACE members to see the award winning entries. We need to encourage more award winners to share information...the projects and entries are a lot of work.

From reports after the banquet, it was reported the dessert was a huge hit.
