Smokey Bear made his annual visit to Priest River Elementary School in late May.
Smokey and his helpers — firefighters from the U.S. Forest Service and the Idaho Department of Lands — presented campfire safety information to the students and poster contest winners received certificates and prizes.
Posters are judged for four elementary schools in western Bonner County in November. Prizes and the contest are sponsored by the Moscow Chapter of the Garden Clubs, the Idaho Department of Lands, the USFS, and the Bonner County Fire Prevention Co-op.
