Labor Day Button Contest Winner Announced

Drawing courtesy Northfield Labor Day Observances Drawing courtesy Northfield Labor Day Observances The 2009 Northfield Labor Day Weekend Celebration has announced that this year's winner of the button design contest is Kristina Bennett, age 14 of Northfield. Having received over 20 entries, the Northfield Observances Committee narrowed their choices down to 6 that they thought accurately and creatively depicted this year's theme "Volunteer: Be The Difference", and ultimately, chose Kristina's as the winner. Kristina will be awarded a $30 prize, and her design will be used to create the Labor Day buttons which are sold each year at the event. The buttons are $3 each, and are sold exclusively by area school children at the event. The children earn $.50 for each button they sell, and the rest of the proceeds offset the cost of the three-day, free admission, community event. You can purchase your button this year on the Common in Northfield at the Labor Day Weekend Celebration, September 5, 6 & 7. Visit www.northfieldlaborday.org for more information.
