East student garners awards in art contest
Courtney Woodrum, a freshman at East Jessamine High School, was announced as the winner of two awards in a horse-decorating art contest.
Woodrum, the daughter of Donna and James Woodrum of Nicholasville, decorated an 8-inch wooden horse named Quest to represent the country of Mexico in a statewide competition put on by the Kidney Health Alliance of Kentucky (KHAKY). Woodrum, an eighth-grader at the time of the contest, won best representation of country/state in the middle-school category and first place overall in the category including middle-school and high-school students.
She won a bag of art supplies and a silver medallion necklace from Bluegrass Medallions.
Her sponsor was Manufacturing Consultants International in Bardstown.
Woodrum was one of 125 student artists in the competition. Sponsorship was $500 per student, and more than $15,000 was raised for the KHAKY.
The Kidney Health Alliance of Kentucky serves 68 counties in Kentucky, including Jessamine County.
