Lauri kicks ass again

Our friend Lauri Shillings is enormously talented and creative and she proved it once again yesterday at the 2010 Hoosier State Press Association Foundation Advertising Contest Awards in Indianapolis.

Lauri designs ads for the Crawfordsville Journal Review. The paper competes in the HSPA awards in the 6,000-14,999 circulation division, which includes several larger newspapers. No problem for Lauri.

She brought home four first place plaques and a total of 14 awards - 15 if you include one awarded to the JR staff.
