"TOSSED" BUT
NOT FORGOTTEN
Sculpture contest turns
trash into art
By Karen Rice| OfficialKidsMag.com
Kids in Benton County and Washington County 4H
clubs did their part for planet earth by participating in
the "Tossed" sculpture contest at the Benton County and
Washington County Fairs. First, kids picked up litter in the
community. Then they repurposed the trash by creating
unique works of art from their finds. The contest allowed
the kids to add paint, glue, wire, screws or nails. Fairgoers
voted on the sculptures and crowd favorites each won a $50
Walmart gift card.
More importantly, they helped clean up the earth and had
fun making some amazing art!
