Walworth County Art Contest

***Click Here to view the 2013 entries***

We are getting ready for another great year of horse racing at Wisconsin's county fairs, including the Walworth County Fair, August 28 through September 2 at Elkhorn.

As part of this year's fair, the WHHA is sponsoring an art contest for K-12 students who live in Walworth County. "The students will be asked to draw an original piece of artwork, that features harness horses and their drivers," says Mickey Barnes of Elkhorn, a racehorse owner and longtime WHHA volunteer. "It's another fun way to get the kids involved in harness racing, and all of their art will be displayed throughout the fair."

Students who have their work selected for a race program will receive $25, a custom T-shirt featuring their art, and their family can be in a winners' circle photograph after one of the races. All students who enter can tour the horse barns, meet some of the drivers and see their art on display in the Blacksmith's Shop on the fairgrounds.

Gabe Wand, President of the WHHA is excited to see the sketches, drawings and paintings that are entered. "This is a great opportunity for the kids in Walworth County to have their artwork seen by thousands of people at one of the very best fairs in the State." Wand added, "It's also going to give our fans some creative art on the cover of the racing programs - how cool is that?"
