The winners of the Rain Barrel Art Contest have been chosen. Altogether, art students at six area high schools created beautiful works of art, using rain barrels as their canvas, to promote water conservation, raise awareness about reducing pollutants that reach waterways, and encourage residents to participate in the annual rain barrel sale.

Of note, rain barrels for this year have sold out and are no longer available to purchase. Those who’ve placed orders can pick them up on Saturday, May 21 at the Dean Domingues Compost Facility located at 400 Dugas Road.
