Young resident wins Gravenhurst Winter Carnival button contest 

From the Town of Gravenhurst:

Local youth Rilynn Jones created the artwork for this year’s Gravenhurst Winter Carnival button.  

Her work was selected through an annual contest the town runs for young people.  

Council welcomed Jones and congratulated her on the winning design. 

The town received more than 130 entries in the contest. These will be showcased during this year’s carnival.  

Jennifer Harris-Lowe, community recreation coordinator for the town, provided an overview of the upcoming carnival and introduced Jones.  

Watch the presentation.  

A few days earlier, Mayor Heidi Lorenz presented Jones with a certificate in recognition of her winning design, which features Skokie, an otter, the official carnival mascot since 1971.  

The carnival takes place Feb. 14-17.  

Carnival goers must have a button to gain entry to events. The cost is $10 for ages 13 or older and $5 for ages 6 to 12. Children 5 and younger, free.  

For details on how to purchase a button and other information about the carnival, see the town website.
