"The Time Is Now, Together We Can!"

Attention Richland County Educators and Students!

We are excited to announce an opportunity for all Richland County students to be a part of making the Richland Community Complex a reality! It is time for the RICHLAND COMMUNITY COMPLEX DESIGN CHALLENGE! We would like all students to participate in this challenge! We are looking for some great designs that utilize the idea of the Richland Community Complex. Please ask your students to be creative. These designs will be used to create posters, yard signs, buttons, and logos. We would like to see what they would like in the new facility. What are their dreams? Some ideas that we have heard and that can be used are:

Recreation Facility - Gym space for basketball/volleyball/Locker rooms • Indoor Track - Track & Field practice area -Example: Pit for Pole Vaulting, etc. • Weight/Fitness Area • 2 Racquetball courts • Pool (lap pool, lazy river, water slide, youth area) Hot tub, sauna (wet,dry) • Teen Lounge (arcade, pool table, etc) • Climbing Wall • Golf simulator • Batting cages • Roller skating/in-line skating area • Studio rooms (dance, aerobics, etc) • Trampoline Room • Practice Ice/Curling space • Multi-Use Outdoor Fields – Flag football, tackle football, soccer, softball, baseball • Day Care area with indoor play facility • Library - Digital learning - Hands on Learning space – Books – Recreation space • Auditorium- Band, Choir, Theatre, Dance – Possible screen for movies/meetings • Gymnastics • After School Program -Schools Out Program Large atrium/entrance - Memorials/sponsorships. Art Displays. • Arena- Multi-use – seating for 4000. • Exhibit Hall – Concrete floor – dividable/ multi-use – Gyms - Indoor soccer/football - Rodeos/ropings/Livestock shows • Community College Space - Conference Rooms

Common Area/Concessions.

Please tell students to use their imagination! We would like to see the words Richland Community Complex in the poster. They can use the slogan “The Time Is Now, Together We Can”! or they can come up with something of their own. They can use any type of art or design to create the poster/sign for this contest.

These will be used to promote and help us to fundraise for the Richland Community Complex!

There will be 4 age divisions for this contest:

High School – Grades 9-12, Middle School – Grades 6-8, Elementary – Grades 3-5, Elementary – Grades K-2

Prizes for this contest: 1st in each division $100, 2nd in each division $50, 3rd in each division $25

Deadline for the contest is Feb. 18th. We will pick up the designs at your school office on this date or you can drop off the poster designs at Kringen Construction, 1645 S. Central Ave., Sidney, MT.

We will be offering a pre-school coloring contest at a later date. We are hoping that one of these great designs will be the poster that we can use for the coloring contest!

We truly believe in this project and are excited to see what the future of our community holds.

The Time Is Now, Together We Can!
