Dateline Decmeber 31, 2015, Tacoma — The C.L.A.W. dominates First Night festivities in downtown Tacoma with it’s annual caricature drawing event hosted by Brooks Dental Studio on Broadway right in the middle of the proceedings! Well, I say dominated…but we were definitely one of the top draws for the year-end block party, in addition to the Circus and the food trucks and the live bands. It was a heck of a swaray, as always!

CLAW members who donated time and hand cramps to the proceedings were James Stowe, Stan Brown, Mark Brill, Steve Bernard, Corey Macourek and Mark Monlux! Here are a few samples of the night’s employment!
