The Sentinel is compiling lists of the other winners of Fourth of July events, supplied by the competition organizers.
This week's list includes the winners' names that were submitted to the newspaper as of Monday, July 8. The paper will print additional winners next week as event organizers submit their lists.
The Sentinel apologizes for any misspellings or other errors. Organizers did a great job putting on so many events for the holiday celebration, but there will always be some misspellings as volunteers try to get everyone's name down on paper at the busy finish of the competition.
