Fun Awards for 2006:

A very nice stock pin went to Celeste Raines for being our Spiffiest Dresser of 2006.

Jerry Busenitz came away with a t-shirt we're sure he'll be proud to wear being our Super Duper Spouse of 2006.

Paula Padelford will be sporting a rain poncho and chamois to wipe water off next time around for her Soaked Right Through Award.

And finally, Kathi Wiley received a roll of duct tape to tape complainers’ mouths shut, or perhaps to hold her exploding head together, along with a "Talk to the Hoof" hat for Grace Under Pressure for 2006.
