The Mint Festival is rapidly approaching and some of the information about the parade and the father/grandfather of the year essay is just being released. You can find these applications on the library's webpage along with a new contest.
In honor of Indiana's Bicentennial and North Judson's Sesquicentennial Chester's, Inc. is sponsoring a Bicentennial/Sesquicentennial Essay Contest. It is open to any person - adult or child - who either currently lives in North Judson or Wayne, Jackson, or Railroad township OR has lived in these areas in the past. In 500 words or less, tell about your experiences of living in this area and why it is/was important to you. The essay must also include some historical details of both North Judson and Indiana (the more interesting and unique the better). All essays must be handwritten by the person entering the contest. The winner will receive $50 and a plaque. The deadline for submitting your essay is May 31st, and it must be received on or by that date.
Winners will be announced on Friday, June 17th, after the 5 p.m. opening ceremony at the band stage in Norwayne Field. All winners are encouraged to participate in the Mint Festival parade on Sunday, June 19th, (you must arrange for your own parade vehicle).
