ANAHEIM, Calif. – The American Water Works Association announced in June that the Big Sky County Water and Sewer District won the eleventh annual “Best of the Best” Tap Water Taste Test.
The event was composed of 29 regional winners from water tasting competitions across North America – including a team from Puerto Rico – and was held at AWWA’s Annual Conference and Exposition in Anaheim, Calif.
The Big Sky County Water and Sewer District is a special-purpose unit of government organized to regulate and operate the town’s public water and sewer systems. Their source water is untreated groundwater. An esteemed judging panel rated each water system on its flavor characteristics.
Universal City, Texas, won second place in the competition and third place saw a tie between the Albuquerque Bernalillo County Water Utility Authority and last year’s champions, the Boston Water and Sewer Commission. The People’s Choice award winner, as determined by the conference attendees, went to Champlain Water District of South Burlington, Vt.
The AWWA’s Annual Conference and Exposition, which brought an estimated 12,000 water experts to Anaheim this year, is the longest running water conference in the world, having first convened in 1881. The event features several hundred expert presentations and an exposition of more than 500 companies showcasing the latest innovations in water technology.
Established in 1881, the American Water Works Association is the largest nonprofit, scientific and educational association dedicated to managing and treating water. With approximately 50,000 members, AWWA provides solutions to improve public health, protect the environment, strengthen the economy and enhance our quality of life.
The Outlaw Partners is a creative marketing, media and events company based in Big Sky, Montana.

We all are familiar with using a limited palette, but do you use one? Do you know how to use a limited palette to create different color combinations? Are you tired of carrying around 15-20 different tubes when you paint plein air? Have you ever wanted to create a certain “mood” in a painting but failed? Do you create a lot of mud? Do you struggle to achieve color harmony? All these problems are addressed in John’s workbook in clear and concise language!
Based on the bestselling “Limited Palatte, Unlimited Color” workbook written by John Pototschnik, the workshop is run by Maggie Shane and Annie McCoy, accomplished landscape (acrylic) and plein air (oil) artists,exhibitors at the Big Sky Artists’ Studio & Gallery and members of the Big Sky Artists Collective.
Each student will receive a copy of “Limited Palette, Unlimited Color” to keep and take home to continue your limited palette journey. We will show you how to use the color wheel and mix your own clean mixtures to successfully create a mood for your paintings.
Each day, we will create a different limited palette color chart and paint a version of a simple landscape using John’s directives. You will then be able to go home and paint more schemes using the book for guidance.
Workshop is open to painters (oil or acrylic) of any level although students must have some basic knowledge of the medium he or she uses. Students will be provided the book ($92 value), color wheel, value scale and canvas papers to complete the daily exercises.
