Here is Elizabeth Haney accepting a Rondo for Svengoolie. She comes in at 3:10 after a video intro from Svengoolie.

Thanks for posting that, Ray! I was hoping someone recorded her heartfelt, moving acceptance speech. Elizabeth - did you give the Rondo to Rich yet? Let us know when you do and how he likes it!

I think Elizabeth's acceptance received the biggest ovation, aside from Joe Moe, of the day. Everyone was moved by it.
Very cool! Congrats to Sven and great job Elizabeth!
Thanks, you guys! :)
And a shout-out to my fellow Chicago-land Svengoolie fan buddies, Creepy Jeff and Minion! How proud are we of our favorite Goolie??
Today I visited the dungeon lair of the 2008 Horror Host of the Year, and delivered his Rondo Award... and it was pretty much like Christmas (well... or Nightmare Before Christmas *g*) watching him open the box and see his little green fellow for the first time.
Hats off to Kerry Gammill on that spectacular sculpt-- we were both admiring the detail, and it's really a very beautifully made piece.
Sven will be posting it on his blog, and it will be appearing on the show... so stay tuned for that!
The timing on this just could not be any more perfect-- Rich Koz is celebrating 30 years this year of being the Man in the Hat!
Bravo, Bravo ;)
Elizabeth's speech was one of the most moving things I've ever seen at a con.
