Machine operator wins the Scene’s Spring Dinosaur Coloring Contest The winner of the Scene’s Spring Dinosaur Coloring Contest and the $200 cash prize is Dan Harrington of Guilford. Harrington, a 34-year-old machine operator, won over the judges with his watercolor painting of a dinosaur in a Southwest setting. In a very close second place, separated by two points, is Heidi Stanton of Morris. Stanton, a 43-year-old art coach, creatively colored a lady dinosaur, complete with Easter bonnet, skirt, mascara and rouge. Details such as broken eggs, a bird in her mouth and a dead rabbit under her foot impressed judges. The third-place winner is Cherie Fairbairn, 27, of Roxbury. Fourth place is Christy Harasimowicz, 18, of Jefferson. Fifth place is Patricia Coyle of Franklin, of “appropriate” age. Sixth place is Amanda Ruggles, 23, of Oneonta. The Daily Star staff acted as judges, giving first-, second- and third-place rankings to entries, with first-place votes re- ceiving 3 points each, second-place votes receiving 2 points each and third-place votes receiving 1 point each. There were 55 entries from throughout Otsego, Delaware, Chenengo and Schoharie counties. Congratulations to Harrington and the top vote-getters, and thank you to everyone who participated! The springtime dinosaurs have added a lot of color to the newsroom the last few weeks, and it’s been fun to see how creative Scene readers are. Readers transformed this drawing by Oneonta artist Ian Austin into creative spring-themed dinosaurs. WINNER: Dan Harrington, 34, Guilford, machine operator 24 O-Town Scene April 28, 2011
