Adams, Becker entries top banner contest

Artists honored last Thursday for their entries in the third annual H’Art of the Palouse street banner contest included, from the left, Jerry Jones, Colfax; Craig Whitcomb, Lewiston; Emily Adams, Kelan Becker, Debi Anderson, Brianna Reynolds, Mae Claypool, Jim Fitzgerald, Dick Gebhardt, all of Colfax.

Unable to attend were Sarah Moore of Pullman and Lori Unger and Hannah Walker, both of Colfax. Receiving People’s Choice awards, determined by a vote of ballots in downtown business, were Adams in the adult division and Becker in the youth division.

Adams teamed with Walker to enter “Haunted,” a banner depicting a ghost cougar walking along a cliff face.

Becker, nine-year-old son of Mike and Tanya Becker of Colfax, entered “Bountiful Harvest.”

The Adams-Walker entry is on display in front of Bank of Whitman and the Becker entry is on display in front of Sol Vallarta. The banner project is conducted by the Colfax Arts Council. Theme for next years entries will be “Palouse Naturally.”
