"Plus, it is always fun to see just how creative children can be. I'm excited to see what they come up with." Photos will be taken of the finished artwork to be judged in separate categories in the national contest. Categories will be grouped by age: kindergarten to 2nd Grade, 3rd to 5th grade, 6th to 8th grade and 9th to 12th grade. Media is invited to attend this event. Please contact Capt.
