Congratulations to the winners of Local 49’s inaugural coloring contest! We received more than 170 entries total in three age categories.
With so many amazing entries, it was difficult to pick winners. A committee narrowed the entries down to four finalists in each category, and members voted on the finalists during the March General Membership Meeting in Minneapolis.
All the finalists will be displayed at our State Fair booth this year.
