Contest winners will be named Jan. 23

Seventh-grade students from Haldane and Garrison schools did their research on local history for the Jean Saunders History Contest and the results will be on view at the Desmond-Fish Library through Jan. 22. The contest is in honor of the first curator of the Putnam History Museum, which sponsors the annual event.

The submissions from 40 students included essays, posters, models and audiovisual presentations. On Monday, Jan. 23, at 6:30 p.m. (snow date Jan. 24), the museum will host a reception and ceremony at the library announcing the contest winners.
