The Patriot had 99 coloring contest submissions from all over our readership areas! Staff voted for the best artwork — the task was arduous since there were many that qualified for MASTERPIECES!

Contest winners can stop by the Patriot office next week to claim your prize of a $15 gift certificate to Subway Sandwich Stores. THANK YOU ALL FOR ENTERING!

(Hang on to those crayons as the Patriot is considering another coloring contest for Easter!)
