City's snow plows are "decked" out! 
A few of the City's snow plows will be looking particularly festive in preparation for the coming winter season, thanks to some teachers and students in seven schools in Evanston.
The City of Evanston Streets and Sanitation Division invited Evanston schools to paint murals on the blades of its snow plows for its third Annual Painting Evanston's Plows (P.E.P) contest.
The Division dropped off a plow blade and paint kit at each school and presented the theme "Tap Water: Good for You, Good for the Environment" to the aspiring artists. Classes were encouraged to show school spirit, city spirit, holiday spirit or winter spirit in conjunction with the theme.
The children's finished snowplow murals are on display through Friday, Nov. 7 at 9 a.m. in front of the Evanston Civic Center, 2100 Ridge Ave. Call (847) 866-2940 to cast a vote for your favorite, or cast your vote below.
DID YOU KNOW? The City annually sends out its snow plow blades to be painted, so the snow will come off the blade easier. P.E.P. helps the City save money, since the City only pays for the paints, and not the artistic labor. The City will add some clear coat on designs so they will last longer to be admired by the community throughout the snow season.
