I LOVE QC ART CONTEST

Congratulations to two Queen Creek artists Thatcher Ganes and Ariel Marin! Their winning designs will be featured on the Shop Queen Creek reusable bags. The bags are anticipated to be available in the next month or two. Thank you to everyone who submitted artwork, it was tough to narrow it down! And we appreciate everyone who took the time to review and vote for their favorite design!
