Local Foods Coalition holds logo contest

I neglected to pass this information along once I received it, but people still have time to enter a logo contest for the Rockingham County Local Foods Coalition co-sponsored by the Rockingham County Grange and N.C. State Grange:

The winner will receive a free family pass to Tuttle’s Corn Maze if an elementary student; $150 if a middle/high school student and $300 if an adult.
All artwork should be submitted to the Rockingham County Cooperative Extension office by 5 p.m. on Oct. 16, and becomes the property of the coalition. Artwork may be in any medium desired by the artists, and all rights to the artwork are forfeited upon submission.

The coalition "is concerned with marketing and distribution of a locally-grown supply of fresh, quality products to preserve small family farms through environmentally friendly sustainable agriculture. Through these actions, this organization embraces seasonality, preserves diversity and, with good agricultural practices, supports local economics in Rockingham County and consumers throughout the region."

Please call the Cooperative Extension office to register at 342-8230. For additional information on either the Logo Contest of the Rockingham County Local Foods Coalition, please contact Brenda Sutton, County Extension Director at 342-8230. brenda_sutton@ncsu.edu. The coalition will next meet on Oct. 13.
