The awards ceremony for best design and viewer’s choice winners were announced at 5:30 p.m. The structures will be on display in the former Buzz shop at the Shoppes at East Chase through September 26. All canned goods will be donated to the Montgomery Area Food Bank.

Montgomery Catholic’s can-structure design team members are Chance Williams, Barbara Bradley, Cathy Ranieri, Lexie Segrest, Hayden Ellis, and Courtney Hamilton. Mrs. Kathy O’Connor and Dr. Joe Profio are the faculty sponsors.
