Baron Pierre de Coubertin, the founder of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) and the modern Olympic Games, saw art competitions as integral to the Olympics. At the 1912 Stockholm Games, Coubertin finally secured Olympic fine art competitions. There were categories for architecture, music, painting, sculpture, and literature, but every work had to be inspired by sports. Judges didn’t have to award gold medals if they were disappointed by all the submissions, but in 1912, a gold medal was awarded in every category. As the Olympics exploded into a beloved international event, the fine arts competitions rarely caught people’s attention. There were significant winners, however. John Russell Pope (the architect of the Jefferson Memorial) won a silver in 1932. Other famous participants include Italian sculptor Rembrandt Bugatti, American illustrator Percy Crosby, Irish author Oliver St. John Gogarty, and Dutch painter Isaac Israëls. An Olympic Medal — For Arts
The arts competition at the Olympics ended in 1952.

For Kevin’s family, a trip to Frosty Caboose for ice cream is a special
occasion. The shop’s high-quality, super- creamy desserts and train views (which it calls “Thomas the Train on Steroids”) cost more than ice cream at Kroger, but they’re worth the splurge, especially on National Ice Cream Day.
