Blacksmith of the Year 2008


The Tom Summers Award 

 

Each year at this time W.R.A.B.A. chooses the Blacksmith of the year from it's members.
Every year the choice gets harder as we keep gaining new members who add much to our organization.
But each year we can chose only one. So the back log grows.

This year’s
“Tom Summers Memorial Blacksmith of the Year Award”
goes to

Marc Yanko

The 2008 Blacksmith of the Year was awarded to Marc Yanko at the March Hammer-In. Marc has been a good friend to blacksmithing and a contributing member of WRABA for many years. Marc has been a past President of WRABA and chair for numerous committees. He is presently WRABA’s web master and a member of WRABA’s Board of Directors.


Congratulations Marc!
and thank you for all the years of service to the club.
