Wags & Purrs to the winners of our 2006 Youth Art Contest...

My Favorite Pet

For the animal-loving staff of your cooperative magazine, the wonderfully creative entries in this year�s youth art contest were particularly endearing! Choosing winners was a daunting task, and again this year we lament the fact that we aren�t able to publish each and every one of them.

Best in show honors this year went to nine-year-old Rebecca Skelton of Jetersville, whose winning picture, �Cutie of Sunny Brook Farm,� is featured on our cover. Congratulations to ALL of our participants, and thank you for sharing your precious pictures with us. It�s mail that Cooperative Living staffers look forward to every year!
