In celebration of National Gardening Month, the Jefferson County Farm Bureau organized a coloring contest throughout April for students in Pre-K through 4th grade. The contest featured three age categories: Pre-K to Kindergarten, 1st to 2nd Grade, and 3rd to 4th Grade. First and second place winners were selected from each category, and participation was open exclusively to children within Jefferson County.
