The Glasgow Garden Club recently announced the 2023 winners of the Smokey Bear/Woodsy Owl Poster Contest. The two first-place winners are (left) fourth-grader Isis Hudson and fifth grader, Carter Whitmer, both participants in Natural Bridge Elementary School’s after-school program, DREAMS. Leyna Hansley, co-ordinator of the DREAMS program said that the poster contest was received enthusiastically by all of the participating fourth and fifth grade students. The poster contest is sponsored yearly by the National Federation of Garden Clubs and the U. S. Forest Service. The first place posters will now advance to the Shenandoah District of the VFGC (Virginia Federation of Garden Clubs) to compete against all other fourth and fifth grade first-place entries offered by member garden clubs.
