Winner of the "Name that Penguin Contest":

Third and fourth grade students in area schools were invited to select a name for our penguin. It was a difficult task to choose from the many impressive and varied names submitted. The winner of our 6oth Anniversary "Name that Penguin Contest" is Zack Sadler.  Zack is a  student in Mrs.Turners third grade class at Lovejoy School here in Alton. Zack chose the winning name of Tempo.
