      The Purdy Community Builders Summer School Program Director Melissa Horn announced the winner of the Purdy Welcome Sign Design contest. The winner of the contest was Purdy sixth grader Jeffrey Drake.
      Horn’s students developed a series of designs for a new ‘Welcome to Purdy’ sign to be erected outside Country Corner and presented them for consideration to David Mareth, Country Corner co-owner, who narrowed down the choices to four. These four designs were presented to the community for a vote at the Purdy Festival. Patrons paid one penny to vote for their favorite design and could cast an unlimited amount of votes.
      After tallying the votes, Horn reported, “We raised over $150, which will be used to fund future Community Builders projects. Jeffrey Drake’s rustic design came out on top, raising $96.69 in votes. The Purdy Community Builders Summer School program would like to thank Terry Billingsley and the National Guard for making the project a reality. We can’t wait to see our new sign on display.”
      Jeffrey Drake is a sixth grade student at Purdy Middle School. He is the son of Austin and Robyn Drake.
