The annual oratorical speech contest with $1,000 in placement awards will be held Jan. 2 at the Forest Lake American Legion. The nine through 12th grade contestants present a nine minute oration about citizenship and the U.S. Constitution and then a four-minute short speech on one of four assigned topics which are listed on the entry form. The top three contestants receive a share of the $1,000 and the local post winner goes on to district competition. The winner at each level proceeds to state and national contests. Last year, Kelli Frederickson made it to state for Forest Lake. For details and entry form (due Dec. 30), visit www.post225.com or contact Ron Miller at ron2@miltech.org or 651-464-5549.
