King for a Day Spam carving and costume contest winners

 

September 13, 2023



Twelve carvers, 12 sponsors, 12 prizes and 12 carvings from 24 cans of Spam . Way too much information to get into this space. Briefly, the winners are, “not written in any kind of order.” Everyone got a Spam T shirt.

Better than the Seattle carving contest

Spam Dunk: Peregrine O’Gormley, “Roasted Pig.”

Weird and Wonderful: “Playing with Fire (your brain on Tom Robbins).”

Pearl Spam: Mandy Turner, “Hot Trash: Spam jewelry displayed on Spam.”

YOWZER: Chris Theis, “Stacked geometric sculpture.”

Spam for the Masses: Pieter VanZanden: “Tom Robbins, the King of Crabs.”

Spamalot: Lucy VanZanden,“King for a Day, and a Lifetime”

Spamster: Kathleen Faulkner, “Elephant and Orb.”

I am Unispam: Eve McCauley, “T is for Turtle.”

Why So Weird: Becky Fletcher, “Tom Robbins Sandwiches”

Strawberry Spam: Sue Roberts, “Spam Man.”

SOCKIT2ME: Steve Klein, “Man in the Spam Can.”

Pig in a Splanket: Kevin Paul, “Canoe”

Best costumes in any contest, ever

Yes, intrepid costume designers were awarded prizes for displaying their creativity through their outfits. 5Sue Roberts, in tin peaks, won the grand prize. Joan Cross and Mike Thuot, as beet and perfume bottle, respectively, won the Sissy Hankshaw award for the most insistently individualist costume. Meg Holgate as a pony rode to the giant panda prize for the most persistently preposterous costume.


The names of the honorable mention winners were not captured, judges Jennifer Bowman, Christine Hill (mom) and Jessie Hill (daughter, emcee) lament.
