The Clarkson Historical Society will hold its annual Handwriting Contest for students in fourth-grade through high school.
The contest celebrates the birthday (January 23) of John Hancock whose signature was the most prominent on the Declaration of Independence. Those wishing to enter should write the following sentence in their best cursive: “The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.” Entries will be judged on legibility, neatness, and clarity of letter formation.
Entry forms can be found in the Clarkson Town Hall, on the Clarkson Historical Society Facebook page, and at http://clarksonhistoricalsociety.org. All entries should be mailed to the Clarkson Historical Society, PO Box 600, Clarkson, NY 14430, and must be postmarked by February 12. Winners will be notified by phone.
