“Peace” on display

What does peace look like to you. Is it a beautiful sunset? Perhaps it’s a favorite animal, or a favorite place. For some, peace is music, or sports, or other hobbies. It’s the ocean, friends, or an unlimited variety of things.

Their posters were created in Abby Butson’s art class as part of the Lions Club International Peace Poster Contest. “A Celebration of Peace” was chosen as this year’s theme.
