With so much young island talent, it was a difficult decision.

The first place poster will be on display at Island Rec’s Guard Street office, the second place poster will be on display at festival sponsor Osito's toy store and the third place poster can be viewed at festival sponsor Toy Box.

These winners will be awarded their prizes during a ceremony at the Children's Festival at noon on the main stage.The festival committee wants to thank all the children who participated.

The festival is at the San Juan County Fairgrounds from 10 am to 2 pm. Island Res said they look forward to seeing the public there.

This year’s committee has set sail with preparations for the 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. May 2nd event. Please, mark your calendars. For more information -or to volunteer- call Sally at 378-4953.
