As leaves fall, the season brings new challenges. It’s time for the Make It with Wool contest! Springville and Mapleton Junior High students are putting on a fashion show on November 20th at 7:00 pm. It’s free and open to the public in Springville Junior High’s auditorium.

Make it with Wool is a contest where students from Mapleton and Springville Junior Highs have the option to make an outfit out of wool and compete for a prize. “On our level, the students will win various prizes. They all win wool fabric from Pendleton Woolen Mills and the top winners win various prizes from fabric stores. On the state level, they can win a sewing machine if they are the top person,” Mrs. Kathryn Crandall, clothing teacher, said.

There are nine students from Springville Junior High participating in the contest; eight girls and one boy. They have been working on their outfits since the beginning of September and have put in many hours, and their outfits are sure to be amazing.

“It is not required and can’t be required. Those who wanted to put forth the extra effort have been doing it. Beginning students can’t do it until next year,” Mrs. Crandall explained. The students have been working extra hard and want people to come to the show. They hope to see you all there.
