Welcome!WHAT
2023 TOIR Logo Design Competition
Thunder Over the Indain River fireworks, also known as TOIR is an Independence Day celebration the entire community looks forward to every year. This event is put on by the Port St. John Community Foundation. PSJCF founder, Randy Rodriguez along with others helped organize the first fireworks displays in Port St. John and continues the tradition. He is a longtime resident, local realtor and the man behind HAPPENINGS Magazine that is delivered to most all of Port St. John. Randy is also responsible for the PSJ Christmas Parade each year, and for the past 33 years.
Each year a new TOIR logo design is used on T-shirts, print, web, and social media marketing.
This year we would like the SCHS Media Department students under the direction of Candace Harlan at SCHS to design our shirt, possibly starting a tradition for years to come. It would be a great addition and recognition to any portfolio.
PSJ Community Foundation
PSJCF partners with businesses, churches, and schools to help make Port St. John the family friendly community we all love.
