CABA is excited to announce the winner of our first annual Summerfest Poster Contest. Working with Art Teacher Christina Scott and her art students, we received seven wonderful entries. The winner is Sasha Langley whose poster can be seen above and all around town. Generously printed by Chatham Printing – thank you Kelly and Al. Honorable mention goes to Alice Meyers, Emily Gaylord, Lizzie Morse, Cheyanne Perry, Maya Narofsky and Emilly Scheriff.
Getting the community involved is a primary goal of CABA, and we’re grateful to all who contributed to this effort.
