Judging is now open for the Epic Touch and Epic PCS 2012 Guymon Pioneer Days Coloring Contest. Pictures featuring barrel racing are on display in the Epic PCS stores in Guymon, Elkhart and Liberal.

Everyone is invited to view the children’s artwork and vote for a favorite. Judging closes on Saturday, May 5, at 5 p.m.

As the sponsor, Epic PCS is continuing the Pioneer Days tradition with Epic variations: all entries will be on display in its stores; judging is done by public voting; and first, second and third place honors will be awarded at each store location along with honorable mentions.

“This is a great way to get kids involved in the rich history of Pioneer Days celebrating the Pioneer Days Rodeo 80th anniversary,” said Linda Ward, advertising and marketing director for Epic PCS.

First place wins an Epic backpack filled with prizes including gold dollars, a $50 value. Second is an Epic backpack filled with prizes, a $30 value. Third is an Epic backpack filled with prizes, a $20 value.
