County to display K–5 'Why I Love Gilliam County' posters and give participants ice-cream certificates
Summary
Commissioners praised a student poster contest across Arlington and Condon schools, agreed to display all entries in the courthouse and on the county website if feasible, and approved providing ice-cream certificates to participating students.
Gilliam County Court reviewed entries from a K–5 poster and essay contest in which students wrote short essays and created artwork about why they love Gilliam County. Commissioners read several submissions aloud and described the entries as "heartwarming," noting students highlighted Main Street businesses, fishing, community celebrations and local parks.
The court agreed to display all entries in the courthouse and to pursue posting them on the county website. Commissioners also authorized giving participants ice-cream certificates as a small recognition for their participation and thanked teachers and district staff for supporting the project.
What happens next: staff will collect artwork for courthouse display, work with schools on return logistics, and arrange ice-cream certificates or small tokens for participating students.
