Summit County launches essay contest

After Summit County distributed an essay contest to all fourth-grade students throughout the county in early March, County Manager Bob Jasper will review essays and select two winners from each school district. Students were asked to write an essay response to the question: "What can I do to prepare myself and my family for an emergency?"

Those selected by Jasper will receive an honorary designation as "County Fire Chief" or "County Deputy Sheriff" for the day. The county will host three open houses for the winners, one in each district: April 5 at the North Summit Fire District Wanship Station, April 12 at the Search and Rescue Building in Kamas and April 26 at the Park City Fire District Station 33.
