Prescott Resident is Winner

at Sharlot Hall Museum's Indian Art Market

Prescott resident Sue McDonald is the winner of a drawing held on the last day of the Prescott Indian Art Market . McDonald won a beautiful silver and turquoise bolo tie which was donated by Hualapai Indian artists George and Donna Bennett.

This popular heritage festival on the grounds of Sharlot Hall Museum the second weekend of every July has grown over the last eleven years to become one of the most esteemed Indian art markets in the Southwest.

An anticipated event at the Market is the presentation of the “People’s Choice Award.” Visitors are given a voting ballot upon entrance and asked to cast their choice for a favorite artist. An individual’s ballot is also a raffle ticket, and after all the votes are counted, the ballot/raffle ticket forms are put into a barrel and one is selected as the grand prize winner. McDonald was the lucky one.

“Not only was it exciting to win a prize,” McDonald says, “It’s such a lovely piece! I may even let my husband, Charlie, wear it!”
