Yesterday evening was special – especially to a handful of extraordinary grade school kids (grades 3-6) as they proudly accepted awards for their artistic efforts with Double Decker-themed drawings and paintings. The event – Oxford Kiwanis Club’s Inaugural Double Decker Art Contest Awards Reception – was held at the Allen Samuels Showroom and showcased over 400 entrants to the contest.
