Rosanna McNaueal was announced the winner of the Centre Hastings Parks, Recreation, and Culture Committee (CHPRCC) at the Madoc Market on May 30th. Rosanna was awarded with a cash prize of $50 donated by the Madoc Market Vendors Association, and a framed picture of the logo donated by Madoc's Deer Creek Studios.

There were beautiful logos submitted, and it was a difficult decision for the judges to choose only one winner. In the end the judges felt that Rosanna's entry best represented the Committee. The CHPRCC would like to thank everyone who made this contest possible and for the creative artwork that was submitted.

The logo will be incorporated  into business cards, letter heads, and all promotional materials. Rosanna's logo will define the many Parks, Recreation and Culture events and activities that The Municipality of Centre Hastings has to offer.
