First place in The Little Munchkin category (3 to 5 years) was won by Aspen Cowan (5 years), second place by Lindsay James (3 years), and third place by Wyatt Lovingier (4 years). The Most Photogenic from both of those categories was a first place tie between Lindsay James and Tristan Anderle. Obviously Gilpin County has some adorable children. The Art Show boasted a variety of entries in a wide range of media. First place in the oils and acrylics category was won by Theresa Joyce's "Moonlight on Longs Peak." Bob Unruh's "Aspen Leaves" won in photography, and Wes Owens' "Sunflowers" was the winning entry in watercolor.

The Children/Student class was won by Alyson Price with "Daydreaming Margaret." Dianne Widom walked away with the Best in Show award for her "Summer."

In the Little Kids Division, Shaylyn Johnson won first place by singing "Five Little Ducks," followed by a second place tie shared by Tim Johnson who danced, and Wyatt Lovingier who sang "I'm Proud to be an American." Paige Johnson, Tess Brownson and Erin Brownson sang and danced their way to the first place award in the Big Kids Division with their rendition of "He Loves You Not." In the Adults Division Hallie Makuh took first place with her song "In His Eyes," and second place was won by Heather Eaton, Sarah Bankovich and Tracy Yanchunis for their vocal rendition of "I Love Rock and Roll." The judges for the Cooking Contest had their work cut out for them (what a fun job).

Ana Mueller's Strawberry Coffee Cake took first place in the Desserts Category, with Judy Coleman's Strawberry Rhubarb Pie following in second place, and Angie Diamond's Jewish Apple Cake taking third place. The Canning Category had two first places (Linda Watson's Tomatoes, and Re Stewart's Lemon Butter), and Linda Watson won two second places with her Spiced Pear Butter and her Spiced Peach Butter. Sam Urban got a third place for his Red Pepper Jelly (it's good for a guy to cook). The kids proved their mettle in the Juniors Desserts Category (Renae Miner's Tomato Cake took first place, and Brittany Schmidli's Chocolate Chip Cookies took second place), and in the Juniors Baking Category Brittany Schmidli's Lemon Poppy Seed Loaf won first, and Rebecca Miner's Pumpkin Bread took second.
