Silver Creek student wins Laurel Run logo design contest

Please join is in congratulating Kennedy Parks of Silver Creek High School for creating the winning design in the 2018 Laurel Memorial Run logo contest!

Kennedy’s design, featuring a silhouette of Laurel on her three-wheel cycle, along with angel wings and a halo, really resonated with a lot of people. Kennedy, who is a senior, is getting ready to graduate and then head to D’Youville College this fall. For creating the winning design, she will receive a $100 gift card to a store of her choice.

Kennedy’s artwork was chosen from more than 70 designs submitted by local high school students.  We thank all of the students who participated in the contest, as well as their art teachers for encouraging them to submit designs.  We’re grateful to the Observer for allowing people to vote for their favorite design through the newspaper’s web site, and we thank everyone who took time to vote.

The 22^nd annual Laurel Memorial Run & Walk takes place July 20 and 21.  We hope to see you there!
