Agriculture in West
Virginia Poster Contest
Winners Announced
Each year, WVFB’s Womens Leadership
Committee sponsors the Agriculture in West Virginia
Poster Contest. In a society that is increasingly
unaware of where their food comes from, the
contest strives to bring attention to the importance
of agriculture. All fourth graders across the state
can particpate, and this year, schools in 24 counties
submitted posters for the competition.
This year’s winning posters, pictured right,
top to bottom: First place, Loren Burner from
Glenwood Elementary School in Mercer County;
second place, Tommy Fluharty of Scott Teays
Elementary in Putnam County; third place,
Madison LaVinge, South Jefferson Elementary
School in Jefferson County.
Each winner receives a cash prize and their posters
will be featured at the West Virginia State Fair at the
WVFB booth. The posters will also grace placemats
at the WVFB Annual Meeting in November.
Congratulations to all!
