23nd Annual Spring Run/Walk & Public Agency Challenge We would like to thank those people that submitted artwork for our brochure artwork contest. We did pick a winner, though it was a very tough choice. Congrats to Madeline Wilcox, Age 12, representing the Department of Ecology for winning this year’s artwork contest. Our runner-ups were Hannah Stewart (Age 12) and Kade Stewart (Age 8). Please join us in congratulating them for a job well done. We hope you will have your 12 and under child draw for next year’s contest!
