LINDA CHANDLER & CINDY ROBERTS PHOTOS Many local children wrote to Ripley Publishing Company to tell us why their mom is special. Pictured above are the three winners pictured with their moms. Pictured left to right is third place winner Avery Billman with her mom, Adrienne Vincent, of Osgood; first place winner Nathan Eggleston with his mom, Lori, and brother, Noah, of Versailles; and second place winner Chloe Davidson and her mom, Kathy, of Osgood. All of the moms received a dozen red roses and the children received a $15 check for their efforts. First and second place winners received a free dinner for two at Cricket Ridge Restaurant in Batesville. See more letters on page 8, section B, of today's paper.
