The commemorative postmark will be available during Labor Day weekend celebrations, with a postmaster stationed at North Lewisburg Community Park to officially stamp items brought by residents and visitors. While there is only one overall winner, Horsley’s entry and three other finalists’ designs will be used in promotional materials in the coming months. Each student received a framed banner featuring their design along with a thank-you and monetary award from the village.
