Valentine Contest time!

It's time for the annual Worcester Historical Museum Valentine contest!
As per usual, the contest is open to children in grades 3-6 (or the equivalent) who attend a Worcester Public School, are members of the Worcester Historical Museum, or hold a Worcester Public Library card.
Valentines must be historic, contemporary, or verse; must be made of non-perishable materials; and must be no larger than 11 inches in any direction. I'd recommend a close reading of the rules.
Entries are due by January 27 at 4pm at the Museum.
