Dixon nature center mural contest deadline moved to Monday

DIXON – Monday at 5 p.m. is the new deadline to enter the Ruth Edwards Nature Center mural contest.

The nature center is looking for submissions for nine panels that will be featured in the Lowell Park building.The 6-by-3-foot panels are primed plywood; the goal is for every panel to be different and have a nature theme.

Submissions should be drawn and colored as they would appear on the panels, and they should include names of participants, as well as ages, address and phone number.

They will be judged with the help of The Next Picture Show, and painting the panels will take place across 3 days during the second week of July.

The contest is open to individuals, groups and families. Send submissions to dixonpark5@gmail.com. Find the Dixon Park District on Facebook for more information.
