Guess the Guest Contest Winner Announced!
Lousia Espinosa, from Aurora, CO is the winner of this year’s Guess The Guest Contest! While she has never attended the festival, she her new husband visited PT last year while celebrating their 10th anniversary, loved the area, took out a subscription to the Peninsula Daily News and decided to take a chance. Currently on a road trip, they are hoping to get out here in time for the festival.
The guesses made about our star were many and varied. Suggested male stare include; Peter Falk, Robert Loggia, Alan Arkin, Haim Topol, Paul Sand, Mel Brooks and Christopher Lee. Female suggestions: Francis McDormand and Barbara Streisand.
Thanks to all of you who played, especially when things got confusing. For those of you who are wondering, the limericks were created by former PT resident Michael Thomsett.
AND OUR SPECIAL GUEST IS……...

IDIOTS AND ANGELS a dark comedy about a man's battle for his soul.
Angel is a selfish, abusive, morally bankrupt man who hangs out at his local bar, berating the other patrons. One day, Angel mysteriously wakes up with a pair of wings on his back. The wings make him do good deeds, contrary to his nature. He desperately tries to rid himself of the good wings, but eventually finds himself fighting those who view the wings as their ticket to fame and fortune.
