“Shell Museum Announces Coloring Contest Winner
Sanibel, Florida, July 7, 2009. The Bailey-Matthews Shell Museum announced that Ryan Paravate of Cumming, Georgia was the winner of the children’s coloring contest recently sponsored by the Museum.
Several weeks ago Ryan visited Sanibel as a guest at Ocean’s Reach. When contacted about winning the Museum’s contest Ryan reported, “What I like to do most of all is draw and color animals, fish, and landscapes like the ocean, mountains, and lakes.” He added, “My favorite activity while visiting Sanibel was shelling and fishing.”
Ryan’s entry included several of his favorite subjects, fish and a junonia. The contest template was taken from the Museum’s coloring book which was released last year. The book features original art work by Kimberly Nealon and is dedicated in memory of Betty Farnum, a dedicated Museum volunteer.
Ryan will receive 6 Museum passes so he can bring his entire family to the Museum during their next visit to the island as well as a Museum Store.”
