Here’s What You Could Win...
Get out your crayons and markers because we need all of you artists to help us create a vehicle wrap that will be used on the tailgates of our irrigation water delivery trucks throughout this Irrigation Season. We are holding this contest to find out just how creative you can be about water and how important it is to our lives, especially here in the San Joaquin Valley. We would like you to create a poster with the theme of “Everything Grows Where Water Flows!” We will choose the best design using this theme to make vehicle wraps that will be on the backs of our trucks. Our trucks are seen everywhere in our community, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week! We can’t wait to see what you come up with!
