Museum Advisory Board Poster Contest Winners Announced
The winners of the Seneca County Museum Advisory Board’s 2018 poster contest have been announced.
The contest was for Seneca County students in grades 3-8. Participants are to receive a county museum t-shirt and the best entries from each age group (3rd and 4th grade, 5th and 6th grade, and 7th and 8th grade) will take home cash prizes of $250, $100 or $50.
The posters depict events/people from the past, present and future in the county.
The awards will be presented at the museum during the Christmas Open House at 1 p.m. on Dec. 1. All are welcome to attend the open house.
