Media invited to celebrate with winning students for first-ever Name a Snowplow contest
POCATELLO — The Idaho Transportation Department invites members of the media to join us in visiting a local school to unveil a newly named snowplow to the winner of the first annual Name a Snowplow contest.
Classrooms from across Idaho were invited to submit names to the contest last fall. ITD employees then selected two names for each geographical area of the state.
The names will be visibly displayed across plow blades, with that plow appearing at winning schools and stickers given to the creative winning students. This contest provides the opportunity for additional winter driving safety education and engaging the community in the important work ITD plow drivers do each winter.
The plow celebration event will be held:
Thursday, at Franklin Middle School at 12 p.m.
Winning Plow Name: Snow Daddy
The celebration is expected to last less than an hour and will provide opportunities to see the named plow and speak to ITD operators.
