Saxon Display & Voting

It was amazing to see the variety of entries in this year’s Decorate Saxon the Suffrage Cat
contest. We have so many talented artists in our community! This was our third annual Saxon
contest and it is growing every year. There were over forty entries from all age groups, youth,
adult and seniors, coming in from Mesquite, Bunkerville and even one from Oregon!
The decorated Saxons will be on display at the Fine Arts Center at 15 W. Mesquite Blvd. from
Tuesday August 2nd through Friday August 12th. Voting for the People’s Choice Award will be
open from Tuesday August 2nd through Saturday August 6th, so be sure to visit the Art Gallery
early to vote for your favorite cat! The Fine Arts Center hours are Monday through Saturday
from 10 AM to 4 PM.
Contest winners will be notified on August 8, International Cat Day, followed by the Awards
Ceremony and Reception the next day, Tuesday August 9 at 4 PM. Because the Fine Arts Center
is less than a block from City Hall, you can do both, attend the Awards Ceremony at the Fine
Arts Center at 4 PM and then attend the City Council meeting at City Hall at 5 PM.
Our talented Saxon artists can pick up their artwork at the Fine Arts Center on Friday August
12 when the Saxon Cat display is taken down, or stop by the Women’s Center at 225 N. Willow
Room 23 at their convenience.
A heartfelt thank you to the Eureka Casino Resort for donating prizes for the Saxon winners.
