On Sunday, October 16, those walkers who attend the 31st CROP Walk for the Hungry in Concord with twenty or more walk sponsors will each receive a free T-shirt designed by Acton teen artists Lydia Sancetta and Hazel Edwards. Their design features colorful fresh vegetables and a large ear of corn.
The girls, who are now both students at Acton Boxborough Regional High School, created the 2011 T-shirt design while at the 2010 CROP Walk Art Contest, which is held immediately after the walk. Both girls were first time CROP walkers last fall after learning about it at a girls’ youth group at Kerem Shalom Temple in Concord, through which they have also participated in other hunger walks and charitable activities.
In school, Lydia enjoys science, participates in chorus and is learning the technical aspects of sound and light for her school’s theater productions. Hazel enjoys drawing and painting, theater activities, and reading. These two friends also take dance lessons and gymnastics. During this past summer both girls attended circus camp together, where they worked with a coach to create a double trapeze act. They are very enthusiastic about their circus activities and will attend the American Youth Circus Organization’s regional festival in New York City in October.
