FREEPORT - Highland Community College's McKenna Christensen is the 2016-17 winner of the $1,000 Eduard Buss and $1,000 Ferguson Fine Arts Scholarships and as the lone recipient, she's holding her own student exhibition at the Freeport Art Museum. That's not exactly typical for a second-year junior college student, but she's thrilled to have the honor. "Getting to branch out with my art anywhere is amazing," Christensen said.
