August 16, 2008, Baltimore, MD - David Spellman of Baltimore has been named Mid-Atlantic Community Bootblack 2008. He is sponsored by ShipMates of Baltimore.

The 2nd annual Mid-Atlantic Community Bootblack contest was held Saturday, August 16 at the Club Phoenix, 1 W. Biddle St. This year’s contest was judged by Paul Bohli (Maryland Mr. Drummer 2000), Steve Buettner (Maryland Mr. Leather 2007), and Henry James (International Community Bootblack 2006) with Jason Sentz (Maryland Leatherboy 2006) as judges’ boy. The event included the contest as well as workshops presented by Henry James and Eric Crouse (Mid-Atlantic Community Bootblack 2007).

As Mid-Atlantic Community Bootblack, David looks forward to raising awareness of boot blacking in this Mid-Atlantic region as well as assisting with fundraising. He will represent the region at the International Community Bootblack contest this October in San Francisco.

Hooker and Boys would like to thank Club Phoenix, Chained Desires, ShipMates of Baltimore, F.I.S.T., C.O.M.M.A.N.D., and the Mid-Atlantic community for their continued support.
