Conference Challenge winners announced and mystery judge revealed

Denise Levenick, Gena Philibert-Ortega,Holly Sammons*

Thanks to all who participated in the Conference Challenge. We hope you had fun. We sure enjoyed watching you complete all the tasks.

There were so many creative entries that the judge had a hard time choosing just one winner. So we decided to have two this year. And the winners are (drumroll please), Denise Levenick and Holly Sammons. They both received a full conference registration to the NGS 2014 Family History Conference in Richmond, Virginia.

And the secret judge was Gena Philibert-Ortega, author of From the Family Kitchen and Gena's Genealogy Blog, http://philibertfamily.blogspot.com/. Thanks Gena!

*our apologies to Holly for originally posting her name as Holly Simmons
