Holidays Around the World Kids Art Contest

The Prairie Art Alliance and Downtown Springfield, Inc. added something a little extra to the Old Capitol Holiday Walks this year... a kids art contest ages 0-18!  A special thank you to Myers Commercial Realty, Inc. for sponsoring the contest and reception.  The reception was held Thursday, December 6th on the prestigious main floor of the Old State Capitol.  Patrons enjoyed cookies and soda and were serenaded by the Hoogland Kids Chorus.  Congratulations to the award winners and all participants.  Everyone received a ribbon.
