The Masquerade director was Dr. Karen.
The list shows
but the spelling in the caption under the corresponding photo at the top of the article is
– typo?
I’ll try to track down the names for you or have Dr Karen send them.
Christian Brunschen: Thanks for pointing out my typo/braino in the caption. Correction made!

@Kevin Roche
Thanks for the details. Does anyone know if there is a twitter stream or facebook page or something that provides photos of the winners, identifying them as such?
Yes. I can provide links in a bit. (I’m about to go out on the Rock Creek Trail to log a time for the Silicon Valley Santa Run. From Washington, DC. ? )

Kevin Roche: Thank you — I have updated the post.
As the saying goes, “I am fluent in typo – both reading and wtrinig!”
(Though … the caption now says “La Calavara”, whereas everything else says “La Calavera”?)
My brain just seems to resist the correct spelling. Fixed again — hopefully right this time.
I saw Santa running down the trail and thought “that looks like Kevin”.
Sorry for the double comment above, the submit button was being twitchy on my phone.
I have two links to share. The first is to the album of official photos by Olav Rockne
And the second is to a spreadsheet of all the entries, noting which won awards, and with an index to which of Olav’s photos are for that entry. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1oyTZajWIwg_npFwtJmwec1zfCvkMIc7N3TJOxMerLVE/edit?usp=sharing
Thank you Kevin!
