It is a long-standing tradition of the Flutterby Children’s Arts Festival for participating Walton County elementary students to paint or draw butterfly masterpieces that are then exhibited at the Festival. One of those pieces is chosen each year as the artwork for the Festival’s poster and t-shirts. This year’s poster art winner is Katie Truett, a 5th grader at Paxton Elementary. In addition, eleven other works by students were chosen to be featured in a new set of notecards that are representative of the fun and magical event. Those student artists are: Caylor Dixon, 4th grade, Paxton Elementary; Samantha Lee, 1st grade, Paxton Elementary; Sofie Daiberl, 2nd grade, Bay Elementary; Eavin Woolf, 3rd grade, Bay Elementary; Cameron Beck, 4th grade, Butler Elementary; Xavier Epplin, 3rd grade, Butler Elementary; Nolan Bacani, 1st grade, Butler Elementary; Anna Seigler, 3rd grade, Mossy Head Elementary; Cayli Henning, 3rd grade, Mossy Head Elementary; Duncan Crittenden, 1st grade, Freeport Elementary; and Denise Farris, 1st grade, Freeport Elementary.
