Civil War Study Group Picks Poster 2019 Contest Winners

As in previous years, members of Civil War Study Group (GWSG) at Lake of the Woods offered to be judges for the 4th Grade history poster contests at Locust Grove Elementary and Lightfoot Elementary Schools.

This year, under the leadership of CWSG Board Member Allie Felder, 13 volunteers stepped forward to judge close to 200 posters at the two schools.

On May 14 in the LOW Clubhouse, CWSG hosted a reception, with cake, cookies and lemonade, for the 34 blue ribbon winners from Locust Grove and the 6 blue ribbon winners from Lightfoot and their families. Volunteers Helen Brewer, Judy Schrage and Jane Owiesny, all from Wilderness 'Tiques, served refreshments before and after presentation of the awards.
