The Maxwelton Community Club has named 11-year-old Hunter Ogle as this year’s Maxwelton button contest winner.

The button contest is a competition where children under the age of 14 that live in Maxwelton Valley submit custom designs for the souvenir buttons purchased and worn during the Maxwelton Parade. The proceeds from the buttons go towards parade costs to help keep the parade going year after year. Buttons cost $1.

Ogle’s design won this year and will be featured on the buttons. Ogle will be entering seventh grade next school year at Langley Middle School.

Ogle has ridden his bike in past parades. He will receive $50 and free hot dogs from the Maxwelton Community Club as a prize. Rather than immediately spend his earnings, he plans to save his prize money toward purchasing a computer.
