Lucia Junkroft Wins Smokey Bear Poster Contest
The Rahway Garden Club is proud to announce that Lucia Junkroft is the 5th-grade statewide winner of the 2020 Smokey Bear Contest. Lucia attends St. John the Apostle School and is active in Girl Scouts, cheerleading, track, and other community organizations. The annual poster contest is open to youth throughout New Jersey and is supported by the 4,500-member Garden Club of NJ.
The competition celebrated Smokey’s 50th birthday and is sponsored by the National Garden Club in conjunction with the U.S. Forest Service. In light of the devastating wildfires in our country this year, the Smokey Bear poster contest is especially relevant, helping to maintain public awareness of the need to prevent human caused wildfires.
The Rahway Garden Club is open to members of all ages and gardening experience and has two separate Youth Clubs teaching kids and teens how to become future, responsible and capable stewards of their environment. More info on the Rahway Garden Club can found on Facebook.
