The Blanchard River Watershed Partnership is sponsoring a Rain Barrel Decorating Contest at the Greater Findlay Home Show Saturday, March 5, and Sunday, March 6, at the Findlay Village Mall.

Thirty-three Rain Barrels have been entered in this year’s contest.  All Rain Barrels will be on display at the Home Show on March 5-6.  Plan to stop at the Findlay Mall and vote for your favorite Rain Barrel.

The three categories this year are:
1). Agricultural Theme,
2). Watershed Theme and
3). General Theme. 

All judging will occur on Saturday with the winners announced on March 6 at 1 p.m. Prizes will be awarded to the top five in each category and the People’s Choice Award.

Anyone may sponsor a barrel by calling Phil Martin at 419-422-6487. All unsponsored barrels will be for sale by silent auction during the Home Show.
