May 4th is widely considered as a Star Wars holiday but the franchise is being celebrated all month long at the Washington Public Library.
The library is holding a drawing/coloring contest for those in preschool through 12th grade to draw or color their favorite Star Wars character or superhero. Sheets can be picked up at the library, and drawings must be submitted by May 30th. Prizes will be awarded in three age categories including a grand prize stormtrooper helmet. The idea and prizes were given by Walt’s Trooper Factory and Stormtrooper TK-61472, who has also put up a display of autographed comic books and Star Wars memorabilia in the library’s foyer case.
