Entry removed from display at fair

BEAVER DAM -- Nick Schultz has been entering his artwork in the Dodge County Fair since he was 11 years old. Over the years, his artwork, mostly of cars, has won him numerous awards, including Best of Show the past five years.

But this year, two of Schultz's award-winning pieces won't be seen by fairgoers.

After heeding the advice of previous judges and branching out into different subject matters, Schultz's two Anime-styled figure studies were judged and awarded second place ribbons.

But following judging, fair officials requested the 23-year-old Juneau resident take his paintings home, leaving just the tags and his ribbons on display.

"In the past, judges always picked on me because I always entered cars and I'm a car nut," said Schultz, who will be a senior in the fall at UW-Stout, where he is majoring in industrial design.
