Harrisburg – The deadline is approaching for talented

according to state Sen. Mary Jo White (R-21), who said the contest showcases

and older are encouraged to enter their drawings, paintings and photographs in
the festival, which takes place in Harrisburg from May 20 through June 20. Entries will be accepted through April 19.
