CARTHAGE, Mo. — “Carthage at the Crossroads: Celebrating Route 66,” is the theme for the 56th Annual Maple Leaf Festival.
The Carthage Chamber of Commerce is currently seeking art entries for this annual community celebration that will be held in October. This year’s theme was selected from over 50 entries and the winning entry was submitted by Carthage resident, Sharon Frost.
“It will be great to see how the community embraces this theme during the Maple Leaf celebration since Route 66 is part of our communities history,” said Julie Reams, President of the Carthage Chamber of Commerce. “We hope by choosing this theme, that not only will we get some very creative designs to be considered as the ‘Official Maple Leaf Artwork,’ but I think those that are a part of the community celebration, like the parade, we will all see some pretty amazing floats.”
Deadline to submit entries is Tuesday, April 12th and should be sent electronically in a PDF, JPG, PNG or vector format. For more information contact the Carthage Chamber of Commerce at 417.358.2373.
