Fourth Annual Coati Kids Earth Day Poetry Contest
This contest was held for school children grades 1 - 6. We had loads of entries, over 300 from all over the Tucson area.
The poems were really great! The first place winners came to Armory Park on Earth Day 2003 to read their winning poems at the awards ceremony.
