Farm-City Days will have a new look this year.
Iolan Emily Sigg was named the winner Thursday of the Farm-City Days logo contest.
Her design was chosen from among seven as the celebration’s official logo, and will be used with banners, literature and other signs as the fall festival nears.
Sigg, owner of Fifty 50, a clothing store on the Iola square that makes specialized T-shirts, was given $100 for the honor, which she immediately returned as a donation to the Farm-City Days Committee.
Along with an almost completely new organizing committee, this year’s celebration (Oct. 15-18) will feature a few other changes.
The most prominent change will be the additional day, Sunday, Oct. 18, in which participants will tour Strickler Dairy Farm.
The tour is part of the committee’s desire to reinforce the “Farm” of Farm-City Days.
Other logos will still be a part of the promotion.
Candace McRae’s logo was named first runner-up. BreAnna Peeper’s was named second runner-up.
Organizers hope to make the logo contest an annual affair.
