Jimmie Brinson of Clyo was named the grand champion of the annual Dickens Village Craft Festival.

Brinson's winning Blue and Gray chess set took seven years to carve.

Sonya Kersey of Clyo won first place as a stained glass artist and Mary Kirkland of Guyton won a blue ribbon for repurposed treasures.

Springfield’s Morgan Webb also won a blue ribbon as an artist, muralist and face painter.
