"Tractor WuShock" by grand prize winner Mason Waltner.

Aspiring artists from the ages of 4 to 12 helped WuShock celebrate his 60th birthday by sharing their Wu-inspired original artworks.

Winning the age 7 to 9 category and tractoring on into the grand prize position is Mason Waltner, 7, of Kingman, Kan., whose drawing
is shown at left.

Contest information was provided by his aunt Jennifer Waltner '05, says Mason's mom Betsy, who goes on to explain that her son's drawing is of WuShock "as a farmer on a John Deere tractor. He is growing basketballs."

Sarah Myose, 10, of Bel Aire, Kan., and
Kate Kennedy, 4, of Richmond, Ky., are category winners. Sarah is the daughter of Chiyoko Myose '07, and Kate is the daughter
of Randall '01 and Cynthia '96 Kennedy.
