Poster Contest

Each year the Riverfest board chooses a “theme animal” to represent the annual Riverfest event. The theme animals are always found in our local watershed and provide more opportunities for learning about life in and around the river.

This year’s theme animal is the Brook Trout.

Thank you to all of the participants in 2026 contest. We had many incredible entries. Our grand-prize winner is Valentino Gonzalez – Cibeyra. Valentino is a sixth grade student at Kate Collins Middle School.
