Marshalltown’s Dakota Curley Wins RAGBRAI Kid’s Art Contest

Tue, Jul 31, 2012 | by TJ Juskiewicz

We would like to congratulate all the young artists throughout Iowa who drew, painted or scultured RAGBRAI masterpieces leading up to RAGBRAI. We hope you saw some of the artwork in the overnight town communities that were on display.

This year’s winner of the RAGBRAI Kid’s Art Contest is Dakota Curley. Dakota depicted a scene from life in Marshalltown that he made with clay. The third grader from Marshalltown will receive a prize of $350 from RAGBRAI for being selected as the statewide winner. Congratulations Dakota!

The children of the RAGBRAI XL overnight communities were invited to participate in the annual RAGBRAI Kids’ Art Contest. The contest called for students in kindergarten through fifth grade to incorporate their town’s RAGBRAI theme into colorful artwork. The artwork could be drawings, paintings or sculptures. The children’s artwork will be displayed throughout the communities to promote RAGBRAI spirit and help decorate the towns. Towns held community-wide contests and selected one entry to the state-wide contest. The winning artist will receive a grand prize of $350 from RAGBRAI.

Congratulations to these town winners:
