PARIS – Floyd A. Harlow Jr. Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 9787 and Auxiliary met recently when the program recognized the winners of the Loyalty Day Poster contest and the fifth-grade essay contest on Patriotism.

Winners of the essay contest were Colleen Stauder, Michael Carleton, Chelsea Dutil and Maggie Whittemore. The students attend Oxford Hills Middle School. They also received $25 and a certificate of recognition.

VFW Auxiliary President Eula Felker and First Vice President Donna Wing attended the VFW state convention on June 9 and 10 in Portland. They brought home the publicity award for the best news article on the Patriots Pen program and first place for the Buddy Poppy program.
