Air Quality coloring contest
Children age 12 and under could win prizes or have their artwork posted online or in a local library by entering the MARC Air Quality Program's summer coloring contest, which will take place from July 1 through Aug. 31
The contest is a fun way for kids to think about what air means to them and the impact of air quality on personal health.
