Pekin Marigold Festival Medallion Hunt Sponsored by Jimmy John's ®

PCHS Art students earned a Grant to produce this years' marigold medallion and mini medallions. The 2011 Pepsi Marigold design was created by senior Glassworks student Doug Bopp. His design is a multi-layered fused glass disk including a painted image of Everett Dirksen with a variety of marigolds. The Mini-medallions were created by the Sculpture students using a glass casting process. Each mini medallion is a unique work of art inspired by the winning medallion design. Both grant projects were made possible through the grant provided by the Tazewell County Regional Office of Education. The sale of these medallions will make it possible for future PCHS Art students to learn contemporary art techniques while developing pride within their community.  The cost is $5.00 each. Thank you for your support of the arts in our community.

The Grand Prize will be Winners Choice! 3 Night Carribean Cruise for two ~ or ~ 3 Night Las Vegas Vacation for two.  Airfare is included.  Arrangements must be made through World Wide Travel of Pekin.
