BC City Council honor winners of contest

The Bridge City City Council last week honored the winners of the art scholarship contest held as part of the Red, White, and You Celebration earlier this month. Local businesses donated the money for the scholarships. Mayor David Rutledge presented checks to first place winner Gabrielle Sensat, who received $1,500, and second place winner Heidi Broussard, who got $750. Both plan to attend Lamar University in Beaumont. The scholarship contest, along with festival and drone show, were sponsored by the Community Leadership Forum's Quality of Life Committee.
