The May, 2008 issue of Sun Valley Magazine, which carries two of Patti’s articles on falconry, just won TWO of FOLIO Magazine’s prestigious awards − the EDDIE Award, which recognizes editorial excellence, and the OZZIE Award for best use of photography. The publication won Bronze in each of those categories and competed against other national magazine with circulations of up to 250,000. As an award winner, Sun Valley Magazine now shares the company of such giants as Bon Appetite, Billboard, Travel & Leisure, Architectural Record, Harper’s Bazaar, National Geographic, Forbes, INC, Time, Fortune, SELF, and other respected publications that have also been honored with this coveted industry award.

According to FOLIO, this year’s competition drew more than 2,800 entries, and more than 100 expert judges spent weeks evaluating the entries and selecting the winners.
