The first-ever Dobby’s Kids Art Show was held Saturday at the Knight Museum and Sandhills Center.  Members of the group, which volunteers its time to maintain and improve the buildings and grounds at Dobby’s Frontier Town in Alliance, submitted entries.  The rules for entry required an original photograph, presented in a unique, homemade frame.  A large group was on hand to see the unique artwork, and KCOW morning show Jason Wentworth judged the entries.

The photos and frames will be on display at the Knight Museum through February 19th.  Below: a photo gallery of the event, including the winning entries.

The trophies are in place!
