Media invited to celebrate winning Lewiston student in first-ever ITD Name a Snowplow Contest
LEWISTON — The Idaho Transportation Department invites members of the media to join us on Friday, Feb. 21, as we visit Jennifer Middle School to unveil the region's first-ever ITD named snowplow, Plowabunga!, as one of two local winners.
Last fall eighth grade classrooms across the state were invited to submit their most creative snowplow names. Those entries were then voted on by ITD employees to select two winners from each geographical region of the state.
The names will be visibly displayed across the plow's blade, with that plow appearing at wining schools to celebrate student creativity. The event will also provide students with a brief presentation on winter driving safety, specifically designed for this crucial age group that will soon be the freshest batch of winter drivers.
In North Central Idaho the celebration will be held:
Friday, Feb. 21, at Jennifer Middle School in Lewiston at 8:25 a.m.
Winning Plow Name: Plowabunga!
Any members of the media wishing to attend should RSVP by contacting Public Information Officer Mark Pfeifer at (208) 799-4305 or mark.pfeifer@itd.idaho.gov.
