Summer Passport Challenge Winner Announced

Summer Passport Challenge Winner Announced

 

Westminster's first-ever Summer Passport Challenge has officially concluded, which means it's time to announce the winner of the grand prize raffle!

Thank you to everyone who took part in the challenge by participating in different City programs and events and collecting stickers in five exciting categories including nature, wellness, civics, learning, and arts. Residents attended more than 50 combined City events, programs and classes throughout the summer as part of the passport challenge. Participation streched citywide, from nature and wellness programs at Standley Lake to civic engagement opportunities with our City Council, police, and fire departments.

Participants scored great prizes including fanny packs, sunscreen and lip balm, sunglasses, bucket hats, and insulated tumblers. A total of ten residents completed the full passport, earning stickers in all five categories and a grand prize raffle entry. So without further ado, the grand prize winner selected at random is...

The City's first-ever Summer Passport Challenge received great feedback from participants. Here's what people are saying about the program:

“This passport challenge was so fun! … There were so many things we discovered that we had no idea existed. Thank you so much for putting this together! I hope we can do it again next year!” -Kiki G.

“We explored the Irving Street Library more since we rarely make it that direction, we found ourselves at Standley Lake a LOT more just enjoying the open space, and we found just how many things are available to us on a regular basis. Thanks for encouraging us to get out and about!” -Isla W.

"It was really fun to participate in this challenge and see all the different programs and activities the city has to offer since I just moved back to Westminster after completing university out of state. It was also great to try and learn new things I hadn’t done before for some of the activities." -Michelle T.
