LakeForestLeader.com LIFE & ARTS the lake forest leader | July 12, 2018 | 23 As part of an initiative to keep the community moving, Go Lake Bluff held a coloring contest asking young artists to draw themselves eating or doing something healthy. PHOTOS SUBMITTED GO Lake Bluff announces winners of kids coloring contest Submitted by Lake Bluff Park District In conjunction with GO Lake Bluff’s ongoing commitment to get and keep the community moving — all in the name of health — the Lake Bluff Park District held a coloring contest. Children of all ages were encouraged to draw a picture of themselves doing or eating something healthy. The contest was held at the Lake Bluff Farmers market on June 15 and at the June 23 Community Walk and Fest. It was hard to pick a winner from the many creative entries, but the judges had to keep the health theme of the contest first and foremost, eliminating some very talented artists. Each of the three winners, will receive a $10 gift card, compliments of Suzy’s Swirl. This drawing, of a young girl playing soccer, was one of three winners in the GO Lake Bluff coloring contest. This drawing was also a winner displaying getting exercise by walking a dog.
