A YOUNG boy has been awarded third prize in Auchinleck Community Shed’s sunflower competition which ran during the Summer holidays.

Colt McGarry received his certificate which recognised just how much time and effort he had put into growing his sunflower.

Tom Andrews, group secretary, said: “This will be an annual event although we might change what they have to grow.

“We were delighted at the response as it was our first attempt at running a competition.”

Congratulations to Colt from all at the Cumnock Chronicle.
