Winning 2019 ThunderCloud Turkey Trot logo

Local artist Karen Smith was selected as the winner of the 2019 ThunderCloud Subs Turkey Trot Art Contest and received one year of ThunderCloud Subs coupon vouchers. Karen has been creating fine art for over 20 years, including sculptures, sketches, large figurative works, and children’s books. Her work has been displayed at Austin City Hall, in local public spaces, literature, books and retail outlets. She has donated many pieces to local charity fundraising events, as well. This Christmas, Karen’s award-winning children’s book “Colorful Cats” will be available for purchase.

Karen has been a ThunderCloud Subs customer for 14 years. As she describes it, “My hands down favorite is the Austin Club. My favorite thing about ThunderCloud is the funky and laid back vibe of the stores, the people who work there, and of course, the great food.”

This will be Karen’s first ThunderCloud Subs Turkey Trot, and as luck would have it, she just started training several months ago. Karen will be participating with her family.

Karen heard about the art contest on the radio, and it inspired her to create a “fun and funky turkey that had the same cool vibe I get when I’m in the stores. Well done, Karen. We are thrilled to have you on the 2019 ThunderCloud Subs Turkey Trot T-shirt!
