The Oconee Chamber of Commerce would like to thank Susan Burger (OCHS) for her help with our Business Expo poster contest.  Each year she incorporates our poster contest into her classroom curriculum.  The students use the skills taught in Ms. Burger’s class to produce these beautiful posters.  Our participation this year was great with thirty- three artists submitting entries. The judges were greatly impressed at the quality of all the entries.
