A design submitted by Precious Moments graphic artist Crystal Manning using artwork created by the founder of Precious Moments, Samuel J. Butcher has been selected by the 48th annual Maple Leaf Festival planning committee as the winning artwork for the festival. Artists, students and local residents were asked to submit work to represent this years theme Crossroads of America.

The winning entry, at left, depicts a young man and lady traveling Route 66 through Carthage, set against a background of the Jasper County Courthouse and the State of Missouri.
