Rilee Howard’s Art Wins Visit From Congressman Adrian Smith
By: Mrs. Varah
Rilee Howard, a sophomore at Litch-
field High School, found out this week that her
photography will soon hang in the Washing-
ton D.C. office of Congressman Adrian Smith.
Every year the nation recognizes excellence in
visual art from each state with the Congres-
sional Art Competition. Congressman Smith
awarded Rilee’s photography “Details” with
second place. Visitors to Congressman Smith’s
office in D.C. will view Rilee’s beautiful picture
of a milkweed growing near Litchfield, Nebras-
ka. The art will remain on display there for
one year. Congratulations Rilee and thank you
for representing Litchfield and earning our
town a visit from Congressman Adrian Smith.
Rilee is the daughter of Bill and Britt Howard
of Litchfield.
The visit will be open to the public in
the Spartan gym on May 1, at 2:50 pm. Congressman Smith will address our school and
community, answer questions and congratulate Rilee Howard.■
