Subsequent research has established that the winner of this year's Portland Lovespoon is none other than JANE BUCH of Florida who purchased her tickets at this years North American Festival of Wales in Scranton P.A.

We would like to take this opportunity to congratulate Jane and thank everyone who contributed to the West Coast Eisteddfod. If you were not the lucky winner this year fear not, 2013 is just around the corner and we will be announcing new and exciting plans as the WCE goes into its fifth year.

We would also like to express our deepest gratitude to Dave and Laura for their continued support and for creating such a unique and beautiful work of art. Special thanks are also due this year to Jen Delyth and Chris Chandler for their invaluable contributions.

The spoon this year has been the result of artistic collaboration across state and national boundaries and the result is little short of breathtaking. For pictures and a full account of the process please see David Western's Portland Lovespoon Blog
