Pile O' Bones, is right! Monty won 4 awards at this event, 2 tattoo of the days, small black and grey, and best in show!!! This resulted in a skull and vertebrate trophys. It was the Jesus Presley tattoo that took best in show and had everyone checking it out. Thank you to everyone who was involved in putting the show on, it really was fun.
