The 2026 Leo Brinda Unit #90 American Legion Auxiliary poster contest was a great success with 242 entries submitted. Area Veterans selected the top three in each class (age group) and the first place posters have advanced to state competition.
The posters were on display at Valentine High School
during the Old West Days celebration. The public was invited to participate in a “People’s Choice” vote for posters not already in the top three.
Ribbons will be presented to the winners at end-of-school-year assemblies.
