Clearfield, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of
Transportation (PennDOT) invites the public to choose the “Fan Favorite” of the
District 2 Paint the Plow contest by “liking” their favorite in the contest
photo album on the PennDOT Facebook page.
Voting
is now underway and will remain open until noon on Friday, November 2. The
photo with the most likes will be named “Fan Favorite”. “District 2 is thrilled
to have 16 high schools participating in this year’s competition”, said
District 2 Executive Karen Michael. “The art work is extraordinary, and we encourage
everyone to visit the Facebook page to vote for their favorite. The efforts
these students put into their entries deserves to be recognized.”
This
is the third year District 2 has held the competition, branching out this year
to all nine counties it serves. The sixteen participating high schools are DuBois,
DuBois Central, Harmony, and Clearfield in Clearfield County, Elk County
Catholic in Elk County, Smethport in McKean County, Galeton, Coudersport, and
Austin in Potter County, Central Mountain in Clinton County, Bellefonte, St
Joseph’s Academy, and Penns Valley in Centre County, Mifflin in Mifflin County,
and Juniata and East Juniata in Juniata County. The public can search for their
school’s County and vote for their favorite plow at Paint the Plow Photos.
All
but one of the plows will be mounted to a plow truck in the area of the
respective school for the upcoming winter season. The plow from Central
Mountain High School will remain on display in front of Clinton County’s
PennDOT Maintenance Office. This year’s theme follows the 511PA slogan of “Know
before you go”, with winter driving safety at the forefront of the art work.
