Area residents are invited to use their creative skills to recycle and repurpose items into a piece of art during the Iowa Wesleyan College GreenFest celebration, Thursday, April 19.

The art competition is one activity in the event marking Earth Week at Iowa Wesleyan College.

All entries should include a name, address, phone number and age displayed on the entry. Entries should be dropped off in front of the Iowa Wesleyan College Chapel between 8:45 and 9:15 a.m. on Thursday, April 19. In case of inclement weather, the drop-off and display area will be in the International Room of the Chadwick Library on the Iowa Wesleyan College campus.
