Yes, the judging was VERY close between the First and Second Place ANA exhibit awards. Both 1st & 2nd place displays were exceptional. Jerry exhibited Large Crown molds and CC & GTCC club member John Hammond (R-1290) of Baltimore took First Place with his colorful display of Egyptian Theme Luxor chips. I've asked ANA Chief Judge Mark Lighterman to post pictures of both exhibits.

Next year's ANA convention will be held in Los Angeles, so I hope that some of our west coast club ANA members will place competitive exhibits in the Gaming category in 2009. In 2010 the ANA comes back East to Boston.
