Dothan, Ala. (WDNews) — The City of Dothan is asking the community, especially local children, to help design a new peanut statue that will be placed in front of the city’s new City Hall.
According to the City of Dothan Government, the project is part of the “Peanuts Around Town” initiative, with this design themed around the America 250 Celebration. Officials are encouraging participants to think patriotic as they create their designs.
Participants are asked to print a peanut template and draw or color their design. Templates are available online or can be picked up at the front entrance desk of the Dothan Civic Center.
Completed entries must be submitted by April 30. Submissions can be mailed to PO Box 2128 in Dothan, emailed to [email protected], or dropped off at the Civic Center.
Entries will be divided into three age groups: 5-7, 8-9, and 10-12. According to the City of Dothan, all submissions will be shared on social media by May 1, with four winners selected — one from each age group and one fan favorite based on likes and shares.
Each winner will have their design inspire the final peanut display at City Hall and will receive a day pass to Water World.
City officials noted that creativity is encouraged, and designs do not have to stay within the lines. Only first names and ages will be shared for winners, and prizes cannot be transferred or redeemed for cash.
For more information, the city asks residents to contact [email protected] or call 334-615-3120.
