Marty Reichenberger, this year’s Neewollah generalissimo, has announced the theme for this October’s celebration will be; Neewollah 2008, Welcome to “Our Town!”  Reichenberger believes this theme reflects the spirit of Neewollah in opening our city for all to enjoy the Neewollah experience.

 

Again this year, area residents of all ages are invited to enter the Neewollah 2008 Logo Contest.  ITSO, the Independence Thespian Society Organization, will co-chair and coordinate the competition.

 

Entries for the logo should incorporate this year’s theme, must have “Our Town” in quotes, and is limited to black and white, with no pencil work.  Symbolism, rather than realism should be emphasized, and computer generated designs are prohibited.  Contest rules limit one entry per person.  The entries will be professionally and anonymously judged.  The winner will receive a $100 cash award as well as published recognition.  All entries will become the property of Neewollah, Inc. and will not be returned.

 

 

The deadline for submitting contest entries is April 11, 2008.  All entry forms should be mailed to:

The 2007 Neewollah Logo Committee is proud to announce the winner of the 2007 Neewollah Logo Contest is Shelly James. Shelly's design captures the spirit of the 50th Anniversary of Neewollah with a jolly pumpkin announcing that "This Neewollah's For You!" Shelly is a native to Independence, Kansas and the Neewollah celebration. An avid collector of vintage Halloween memorabilia makes Neewollah Shelly's favorite time of year for decorating. Shelly enjoys walking, attending her daughter Jordan's softball games, and going to auctions. Shelly and her husband George have three children, Jordan age 18, Rachel age 23, and Drew age 26.
