The Madsonian Museum on Bridge Street in Waitsfield is hosting a prize winner announcements reception at the museum on Wednesday evening, August 4th, at 5:30 PM for their 1st Annual UFO Design Contest. Prizes will be given in four age categories: Ages 12 and Under, 13-25, 26-60 and 60+. A number of Honorable Mentions will also be given.
Prizes are being sponsored by Chooseco, publisher of the world famous children’s series Choose Your Own Adventure as well as Lucy O’Brien, a benefactor of the museum.
“The contest was a perfect marriage of the ideas and imagination of the CYOA series and the mission of the Madsonian,” Chooseco Publisher Shannon Gillgan stated. “We are delighted to participate in this contest. And we promise that next year, it will be more organized."
The contest is the brainchild of Madsonian founder, Dave Sellers. There were over 70 entrants in the contest. All entrants received a copy of the Choose Your Own Adventure Project: UFO by long time Valley resident R.A. Montgomery. The reception will end at 7 at which point everyone is encouraged to go across the street to Round Up behind the Sweet Spot.
