There are two things you can’t argue with: Mother Nature and cows.

It wasn’t exactly what they had in mind, but because of trouble with the weather and the cow, the Cedar Springs Rotary Club converted the third annual Cow Plop Raffle, which was held October 26, into a traditional raffle.

According to Rotarian Gabrielle Warner, Rotarians hung out inside and had coffee and donuts with community members, and then drew the winners at noon. The first prize of $1000 went to Joyce Gray of Howard City; second prize of $350 went to Tina Hall of Choice One Bank; and third prize of $150 went to Todd Hanson of Nelson Township!

“Congratulations to our winners and thanks to all raffle participants,” remarked Warner.

Proceeds from this raffle support The Cedar Springs Rotary Club Foundation Scholarships Fund for Scholarships that they award through several programs to students right here in the Cedar Springs Area.

Doris Vinton’s untitled entry.

The most popular vote getter in the first annual Red Flannel Art Review also took first place in the 2-dimensional juried category.

Doris Vinton’s untitled entry, hosted by B&B Beauty Salon, netted more popular votes than any other entry. Almost 600 votes were cast in the debut event. Winners of the contest were announced at the Craft Beer and Wine Tasting on Saturday, September 21.

Other winners included: first place, 3-Dimensional juried prize Amita Modzelewski, “Geschichte,” hosted by the Amish Warehouse; second place 3-Dimensional juried prize Steve Anderson, “Golumn,” hosted by Probst Floor Coverings; first place 2-dimensional juried prize Doris Vinton, untitled, hosted by B&B Beauty Salon; and second place 2-dimensional juried prize Martha Bobb, “The Old School House and its Memories,” hosted by The Curiosity Shoppe.

As usual, judging for the Cedar Springs Post Easter Coloring Contest was very difficult indeed. All of our entries were really great making it extremely hard to decide the winners. The judges could not agree. Things got heated, and a fight broke out. Someone called the cops. People went to jail. So here are the winners for this year.

Basket winners may pick up their prize on Monday, April 1.

See you next year!
