Thomas Koets

"Only Six Months Till Oktoberfest"
shows that while there may be "Six Months" left till Oktoberfest, many are getting an early start.  Because of the leering accordion player focused on the endowed bar maid, it was a favorite sculpture of the photographers entering our photo contest.  Several great photo entries caught him looking.  Thomas's attention to detail made this a great sculpture.
First Place Winner.
