Los Angeles, CA--What a wonderful time we had at INATS this year! The banquet was one for the books with many new guest presenters, including; Bill Krause of Llewelyn, Book of the Year award recipient Shelley Kaehr, PhD.; Janay Marontate of Kitchen Witch Gourmet; Darlene Koldenhoven of Time Art Music; Andrew Toplarski; producer of INATS; and myself. We also paid tribute to Micki Baumann, a previous president of COVR, whose daughter, Suzie Heiney offered each banquet attendee some of Micki's favorite Deva Designs charms in a memorial charm bag--one of Micki's favorite things to do was bring a pocket full of charms to gift people she met along the way. Mito De Soto started out the evening with his melodic blend of Jazz and Flamenco acoustic guitar styles.
Congratulations to all of the winners of the 2023 COVR Visionary Awards. It was a year of intrigue and surprises, you can see the full live event on our FB live, or check out all the posts on our FB page.
Special thank yous to our Vice President and CVA's Director, Alex Fernandez of Hearthside Candles and Curios in Omaha for all his hard work on the awards this year, and the incredible crew that showed up for COVR at INATS: Chris Dishaw of Hearthside Candles and Curios, board member Patricia Miller and Tim Miller of Twinkle Twinkle Little Store in Cheyenne Wyoming, and members Darlene Koldenhoven, and Judah Freed.
