At the Dec 21 Luncheon, everyone wearing a Christmas sweater was assembled for the ugly sweater contest. Although there were a lot of competitors, many were eliminated as too traditional or too pretty.
The 3 ugly Christmas sweater finalists were selected by judges Glenn Holcombe and Ron Furman (neither was in Christmas attire). The placement of the finalists was determined by audience applause. First place went to Mike Markovitz for his outstanding jacket decorated back and front by his daughter Kaitlyn. Second place went to Ruth Gorski and third place to Norm Werkheiser (who incidentally was last year’s winner).
