We have a winner...

Mountain Home News publisher Brenda Fincher presents a bag filled with holiday treats to Olivia Dickinson as her brother, James, holds up the pictures they designed during the newspaper's annual coloring contest. Olivia Dickinson, a student at East Elementary School, was the overall winner during this year's contest for her entry, shown at the right. She and her brother were among more than a dozen children in the community that put their creative talents to the test during the contest.

While the newspaper was unable to personally recognize each child that entered the contest, the staff chose to present the remaining entries in the photo gallery or on page A6 of the Mountain Home News. The newspaper staff thanks local businesses featured on this page for their support of the children's coloring contest.
