​CHARLESTON, WV – First Lady Cathy Justice is happy to announce the winners of her Halloween Coloring Contest. The First Lady received 3,485 entries from 50 counties and was excited to see the creativity of West Virginia’s children.
 
“I’m so thrilled with the response to our Halloween Coloring Contest. So many children participated and it’s wonderful seeing the skill and creativity of West Virginia’s young students," said First Lady Cathy Justice. "I want to wish everyone a happy and safe Halloween.”
 
This contest was the seventh installment of the First Lady’s “Student Artist Series” initiative, an art program started to promote the importance of the arts in schools throughout West Virginia.
