Gourd ornament takes third (12/13/05)

Taking note

By By VIRGINIA CLINE-

Bryant resident Angela Reinhart won third place in the electric Consumer Christmas Ornament Contest for her rendering of the Holy Family on a piece of gourd. The Jay County REMC customer used pyrography, watercolors and acrylics to create the work. The opposite side of the ornament contains the Bible verse John 3:16. Reinhart’s bronze award earned her $75. She will conduct a gourd class for the Pregnancy Care Center on Dec. 16 from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m.
