Owen County student wins AIC essay contest
The Association of Indiana Counties (AIC) and Financial Services Group, Inc. have named a local fourth grader as the National County Government Month essay contest winner for the AIC's West Central District.
Jorran Delp's essay was chosen over entries from other fourth graders across the district. Delp, a student at Patricksburg Elementary in Owen County, received $100 for winning the contest. One winner was chosen in each of the AIC's six districts.
This year's theme was "Celebrating Indiana Health Departments." Essays were judged on how well students expressed their knowledge about Indiana Health Departments.
Delp was awarded the prize on April 9, during the AIC West Central District Meeting in Putnam County. The meeting also included a synopsis of the 2026 Indiana Legislative Session by AIC legislative staff.
