MIDDLEPORT — An oil painting by Carmen Shultz, “The Cottage,” was named Best of Show at Saturday’s Art in the Park show.

The annual autumn art show was held at Dave Diles Park, and is sponsored by the Riverbend Arts Council. Elizabeth Hamilton was named reserve best of show, for a pastel work, “Baby Boy.” Shultz received a $25 cash prize and Hamilton a $20 prize.

In addition to the exhibition and display of paintings in a number of media, craftsmen demonstrated their skills at a number of displays, and a special children’s program was offered. That, according to one of the organizers, was a considerably bigger part of the show this year.
