A favorite part of our annual Yampa Valley Crane Festival is the Crane Coloring Contest for kids. Ages 3 to 18 are eligible to participate, along with adults from Horizons.

Nearly 135 kids colored, painted, and decorated the drawing and returned it to us to participate in the Crane Coloring Contest.

Awards were given out at a special ceremony at Bud Werner Memorial Library during the 14th annual Yampa Valley Crane Festival. All entries were displayed at Bud Werner Memorial Library during the festival. Please email info@coloradocranes.org if you’d like to pick-up your coloring page.
