Then the exhibition showed the huge display of excellent artwork by kids and adults. A number of community leaders attended even though it was a day of downpours and thunderstorms: Anjai Chowdhary Lavu (TANA), Kiran Reddy Pasham (ATA), Venky Gadde & Vinay Maddineni (TAMA), Niranjan Prodduturi (GATA), Ramesh Valluri (Atlanta Telugu Samskruti), Viju Chiluveru (Maitri), and Ramesh Chaparala.
