Barre Elks Lodge Americanism committee held a coloring contest for area children ages 5 through 10 in conjunction with Flag Day. Contest entries were available at local businesses and passed out to students at six area elementary schools.
Over 250 entries were submitted for judging. Entries were on display at Aubuchon’s Hardware, Nelson True Value Hardware, and Key Bank. Six winning entries were chosen based on correct coloring of the American Flag and creativeness of the soliders outfit. The following winners were: Jacob Bylow of Orange, Keating King Carpenter of Barre, Caroline Murray of East Montpelier, Natalie Wild of Barre, Emily Poulan of Washington and Avery Cochran of East Calais.
Each winner received crayons and gift certificates for pizza and ice cream.
