Angela Kumpe won first place in Expert Division with "Angel" Member Danelle German won best first timer with more than one year of experience as well as the coveted title of Best Creative Groomer, which is chosen from all the entries across divisions.  May 15-17th Lori Craig won second place in Expert Division with "Queen of Hearts" Member Lindsay Geidel won second Best First Timer with more than one year of experience.  2010 was the second year of the Tennessee Pet Stylists Super Show, and show producer, Susan Porterfield, really stepped it up! The all-new creative promenade attracted quite a bit of attention with seven entries, and both the breed profile and the creative competitions drew in nearly twice as many entries as last year. It should not be any surprise that the creative competition was so popular, as the TPS Super Show is the only competition in the country with divisions for creative – entry, intermediate, and open. The competition awarded placements for each division (including placements for first timers), leading up to the coveted “Best Creative Groomer” chosen from all 3 divisions. This year’s top winner was NAPCG member and NCGIA president, Danelle German. Danelle took on the feat of grooming both a standard poodle AND a Persian cat in the ring for her entry!
