"The Arts Commission selects new sculptures, on a competitive basis, and exhibits them on a walking tour throughout La Conner. These impressive works, on loan from sculptors around the Northwest, are for exhibit and for sale. The proceeds from sales are used to purchase public art for the Town of La Conner. "Crossing Point" at the Skagit County Historical Museum; "Apple Tree" and "Spirit Wheel" near Maple Hall are examples of public art the Town owns. The Arts Commission manages La Conner's permanent collection of art and sculptures."

""Third Place goes to Wayne Chaudiere of Lummi Island, Washington, for his counter intuitively elegant GOOD TILLAGE TABLE. A farming conservationist and farm-to-table supporter, Wayne found inspiration in an old plow, pulled from deep in a farm junk pile. Turned upside down, the plow became a table base. Following grinder touch-ups, acid baths and linseed oil rubs, Wayne engineered a solid, harmonious footing from metal scraps, then finished off the table with a reclaimed glass top. His entry was submitted through The RE Store in Bellingham.""
