Since Veterans Day Essay Contest has been suspended until further notice. 

Youth age 8-18 years old who live in Riverton or who attend school in Riverton are invited to participate in a Veterans Day Essay Contest sponsored by Riverton City and the Riverton Arts Council. The goal of the contest is to collect stories of military veterans who made an impact in the world, in our community, or in your life. The veteran may be someone living or someone who has passed on and does not need to be from Riverton. The top three essays will be presented via audio recording at Riverton City’s Veterans Day Program on Monday, November 11, at 6:30 p.m. at the Sandra N. Lloyd Community Center.
