Name the Dust Song Contest

Kids! We wrote a song about dust storms and you got to name it! The contest ended July 9th.  Thanks to all of you who submitted a name for the ADOT dust ditty! Congratulations to Peter Corbett of Scottsdale for his winning title:"The Ballad of Dusty Ryder!" In a close second place was, "The Legend of Dusty the Storm" from Kathy Larzelere of Phoenix. Hope you enjoyed the song! Remember to Pull Aside, Stay Alive if you encounter a dust storm.
