LAKEPORT, Calif. – The city of Lakeport is holding an art contest to promote awareness of, and to educate Lakeport Elementary students (grades K-3) on, a stance against drugs in our community.
This Halloween season, Lakeport kindergartners and first graders are encouraged to enter their best coloring work, while second and third graders will have an opportunity to design and color a poster illustrating an anti-drug, Halloween inspired message.
Stenciled pictures, designed and drawn by Lakeport Police Officer Joe Eastham, for coloring and poster paper for drawing will be distributed to students at Lakeport Elementary School and are available at City Hall, 225 Park St.
The deadline to enter the contest is Friday, Oct. 24.
One winner will be selected from each grade level, with each receiving a new bike and helmet from Main Street Bicycles in Lakeport. Prizes will be awarded to second and third place finishers as well.
All entries will be posted at City Hall the week of Halloween and winners will be announced during the Lakeport Elementary Halloween parade on Friday, Oct. 31.
This program is being jointly funded by Lakeport Police drug asset forfeiture funds and donations from Main Street Bicycles in the form of greatly reduced costs of the bicycles and helmets.
City officials said they are very excited to put on this program and proud to have Main Street bicycles partnering with them in the ongoing effort to educate the children of the community on the dangers of drugs.
