School Board member and former teacher Ruth Sarar graciously judged the contest on technique, thoughtfulness, originality, and holiday festiveness. The winners will receive some Garretson Bucks compliments of the Gazette to spend at a local business. Big thanks to Julie Mueller for gathering the drawings.
Our winners this year were: First Place – Lucie Frewaldt, Second Place – Nathan Roberts, Third Place – Ethan Magnuson, Honorable Mention – Hope Wheeler.
Thank you to all our sponsors for this contest, Alliance Communications, Blue Dragon Academy, CHS, City of Garretson, Don’s Auto, First Bank & Trust, the Garretson Commercial Club, Garretson Insurance, Garretson Food Center, Jesse James Country Store, Minnehaha Funeral Home, Landmark Realty, Nordstrom’s Automotive, Performance Press, Sander’s Printing, and Vandersnick Excavating.
An extra special thanks to Sarar who told us that it’s hard to pick just four students, because she loved every single drawing.
