Lewter said a Easter-themed coloring contest sheet is included on page 12 of this issue of the Citizens Journal. 
“We are inviting kids from Cass County to cut the sheet out and color it as creatively as possible.  After that, submissions should be delivered to Cass County Bank at 401 Hwy. 59 in Queen City. Our friends there will display the artwork in their lobby throughout the Easter season,” Lewter said.
