Luther College contest was

What can you say about dioramas made with Peeps® brand marshmallow candies, except that they were "Peeptacular." The Luther College Book Shop on Thursday afternoon announced the winners of its third annual Peep-O-Rama contest.  The book shop has accepted entries of dioramas created using Peeps marshmallow candies, plus props and artwork. There were lots of choices. "Spring Break with my Peeps" had a beach theme.  "The Signing of the Declaration of Indepeepence" had a history theme.  "Little Bo Peep"--well, you get the idea.
Visitors to the Luther Book Shop were able to cast their vote for their favorite diorama.  The "Peeper Pan" diorama took third place.  A Paideia-themed diorama was second.  The clear favorite was an elaborate diorama by three Luther students that included flowing water and fighting Peeps as part of the take-off on the movie "300."  Erin Voelschow, Addison Choi and Josiah Collins said they were discussing a volcano theme, when one of the group came up with the idea of using an aquarium pump to add a water feature.

The three were presented prizes for their winning entry, including a crystal Peep statue.
