Art, Talent, and Cantaloupe Pride: Festival Shirts Design Winners Announced
Artwork by Adrian Tom, for his stunning hand-drawn artwork.

Fallon showed up and showed off for the 40th Anniversary Festival shirt design contest. With over 30 entries submitted, the response was nothing short of inspiring, revealing just how much artistic talent lives right here in our own backyard.

After a tough selection process, the Festival Committee is thrilled to announce this year’s winners:

Festival Shirt Design Winner: Adrian Tom, for his stunning hand-drawn artwork

Volunteer Shirt Design Winner: Susan Day, recognized for her vibrant digital design.

But the celebration doesn’t stop there; three talented artists earned Honorable Mentions, and their work will be turned into collectible festival stickers:

Vanessa Burch-Urquhart — for a beautifully painted “Field and Plane” scene

Marsha Hogsed — for her charming farm scene featuring a banner

Allison Lister-Bridgewater — for a bright digital design of a sliced cantaloupe with a bold #40

The committee extended a sincere thank you to everyone who submitted artwork. “Your creativity and enthusiasm brought joy to this milestone celebration and made choosing just one winner a delightful challenge,” Adrienne Snow, director of the festival, said.

Be sure to stop by the swag shop during the #40thAnniversaryFestival to grab your shirts, stickers, and more.

We reached out to the writer/submitter and got this info back...hope it's helpful. PBM: Pharmacy Benefit Managers are pharmacies that are owned by insurance companies. (CVS is one.) They negotiate with drug makers to get reduced pricing for medications, but they historically have not passed along those savings to patients. https://www.ftc.gov/system/files/ftc_gov/pdf/pharmacy-benefit-managers-staff-report.pdf MFN: Most Favored Nation pricing is a policy that means a country agrees to offer the same trade concessions (like tariffs or price reductions) to all member nations of the World Trade Organization (WTO). When applied to pharmaceuticals, it could disrupt global access, deter innovation, and obscure the deeper systemic issues in American health care. https://petrieflom.law.harvard.edu/2025/05/22/the-global-risks-of-americas-most-favored-nation-drug-pricing-policy/Comment publication date: 6/23/25, 7:47 AMComment source: L E T T E R TO THE EDITOR
