For the second year, Ellie Grace McGowan, a CCES first-grader, took top honors among her age group in the annual Regional Recycling Corporation contest. McGowan, 6, also took first place in Crittenden County.
School-age children in western Kentucky are invited each year to submit sculptures made of what would otherwise be trash. Twelve winners in each county are selected by judges, with the top three automatically entered in the regional contest.
All winners receive cash prizes, which will be awarded at Tuesday's board of education meeting at the high school.
McGowen is the daughter of Lowell and Mollie McGowan of Fredonia. More can be found on The Times Leader's Web site.
