Athenaeum art contest winners

Christine Kackman, left, Athenaeum art contest chair, presented awards to the winners of the club's art contest recently. Left to right, Brooklyn Schmidt, was third place winner, Alexandria Martinez was second place and Colfax Art Instructor Cheryl Lothspeich holds the first place painting by Kim Hinnenkamp (not pictured). Mrs. Lothspeich coordinated the art contest in her art classes and the students were asked to copy a masterpiece by a famous artist. Athenaeum honors them with a certificate and monetary award. Next year's contest will be poetry.
