Sunflower Delight
Local Artist Jan Wing was tasked with creating a sunflower for 2024 St. Helens Kiwanis Community Parade. Jan’s watercolor of the big, bright, sunny yellow sunflower’s center was the perfect setting for Kiwanis logo and gave delight to theme “Summer Fun!”

Queen Madison, “Summer fun to me means walking the isles of 4-H animal barns at your county fair with an ice-cold lemonade in your hand. Seeing how hard the youth have worked with their animals and watching them showcase all their talents in the show arena.
Finding the perfect spot in the grandstands to sit and watch your local rodeo,
What is Covered?
