Museum poster contest highlights sports

Twenty-three posters detailing the recreational activities of Jefferson County’s past are now on display at the Jefferson County Museum, awaiting judgment from community members.

The posters – created by Jefferson High School students in Cody Ottman’s history class – are part of the museum’s annual poster contest and will remain on display through April, according to Museum Co-Director Nancy Scusa.

“We are so proud of the job and the time and effort put into this contest,” Scusa and fellow Co-Director Cheryl Vukasin told The Monitor. “We appreciate the Heritage Center for assisting the students with their projects. We so appreciate Cody Ottman who provides this opportunity and it has created an interest in people who visit the museum.”
