Two 91原创 City residents won an upcycling challenge for Earth Day in 91原创 City with two very different entries on Saturday, April 22

Byron Murray, 11, won in his age category for his recycled wood vehicle, while Sandra Reams, 82, won for what she described as a 鈥渇unky purse.鈥�

Murray, who said he enjoys woodworking with his father, explained his entry was 鈥渒ind of like a boat and a car together.鈥�

鈥淎 lot of it鈥檚 Popsicle sticks and [parts from] this boat I made,鈥� Murray told the 91原创 Advance Times.

Dad Mike, who took third in the adult category with his staircase sculpture design, said Byron particularly enjoyed consuming the Popsicles that were used in the recycled design.

Reams assembled her winning purse design from a variety of sources.

鈥淪o I love to go to the thrift store, and then I found an old grocery bag,鈥� Reams said.

鈥淭hen I had this fun blouse, and I thought okay, I love the colors and the drape, so I sewed the blouse onto the bag, and then to decorate, I added earrings to give it a little personality.鈥�

Both winners were awarded $50 worth of 鈥渄owntown dollars鈥� from the Downtown 91原创 Business Association.

It marked the second time Earth Day has been held in 91原创 City.

Organized by the City Environmental Sustainability Committee, with 91原创 Environmental Partners Society (LEPS), it included workshops on container gardening, making do-it-yourself cleaners and Earth Day bingo, kid鈥檚 games and a plant and compost giveaway.
