Arbor Day Art Show
The annual Trees in Our Town exhibit is currently on display at the Edmond Historical Society and Museum through April 30th! Artwork in the exhibit includes First through Third Place entries and an Honorable Mention from each participating school in the Arbor Day Art Contest. Be sure to stop by and view the creative interpretations of Edmond’s trees by 76 local fifth graders from 19 participating schools. View Arbor Day Art Contest for more information about this program.
