The Clarkson Historical Society will be holding its annual Handwriting Contest for students in fourth grade through high school.
The contest will start on January 23, the birthday of John Hancock whose signature was the most prominent on the Declaration of Independence. Those wishing to enter should write the following sentence by B.B. King, in their best cursive: “The beautiful thing about learning is that no one can take it away from you.” Entries will be judged on legibility, neatness, and clarity of letter formation.
Entry forms can be found at the Clarkson Town Hall, on the bulletin board at the Hamlin Tops, and on the Clarkson Facebook Page. All entries should be mailed to the Clarkson Historical Society, PO Box 600, Clarkson, NY 14430, and must be postmarked by February 12, Abraham Lincoln’s birthday. Winners will be notified by phone.
