Chemung Canal Trust Company (CCTC) is proud to announce the three winners of their second annual Strawberry Festival Drawing Contest; Leah Clark (age four), Kaelyn Katchuk (age seven) and Angelina Hird (age 11). The winners’ artwork will be displayed at CCTC located at 203 Main St. in downtown Owego, N.Y. until early August.

The Drawing Contest began in early May and ended on Saturday, June 22, and the theme this year was “Sweet Strawberry Spectacular.” There were over 45 contestants.

Owego Branch Manager, Sarah Darling, and the staff at their downtown Owego branch worked together to select the winning artwork from three different age groups. Each winner received a trophy and a gift card to Ice Cream Works! located on 14 George St. in Owego.

“The Sweet Strawberry Spectacular drawing contest was a fun way to get families excited for the Owego Strawberry Festival,” Darling stated. “Our branches truly enjoyed looking through all the artwork – there is a lot of talent in our community. We are looking forward to continuing this tradition.”
