The Fremont County Public Health Agency is conducting a mural art contest for the walls of a new public health clinic currently under renovation in Florence. The contest is open to residents of Fremont County ages 14-18. The art work should reflect one of two themes: “Tree of Life” or “Reading on the Beach”. However, any other health related art work will be accepted for consideration.
