Wild Things Art Contest Winners

The Brown County Soil & Water Conservation District would like to thank everyone who participated in the Wild Things art contest. The decisions were hard because all of the projects were so unique. The contest categories were animals, plants, water and pretty scenes. Each participant received gift bags that contained stickers, temporary tattoos, fire safety awareness bracelets, game books, bookmarks, pens, pencils and crayons. First place participants also won a t-shirt or bookbag and second place received a rock and mineral set. Also thank you to the White Oak Creek Watershed for donating a portion of the awards. Congratulations to all participants!

2007 Earth Day Contest Winners

“Save the Earth, save a tree, but most importantly save you and me” was the winning quote on the 2007 Earth Day 1st place poster contest winner created by Hannah Keller. The White Oak Creek Watershed Partners and the Brown Soil & Water Conservation District sponsored the 2007 Earth Day coloring and poster contest for Mt. Orab Elementary 2nd and 4th graders. Second grade students participate in a coloring contest and the forth grade students participate in a poster contest by creating scenes on paper bags donated by the Kroger Store in Mt. Orab. All winners were then displayed at the store and all colored bags are then used for shoppers choosing to use paper instead of plastic.

2nd grade coloring contest winners…

1st Shelby Gray, 2nd Lacy Wright, and 3rd Jesse Jimison.

4th grade poster contest winners…

1st Hannah Keller, 2nd Madison Johnston, 3rd Hannah Bishop.
