CALEDONIA, Wis (WSAU)  If you log onto Google today, you’ll see a drawing made by a seven-year-old boy from Caledonia in Racine County.

Dylan Hoffman won this year’s “Doodle-for-Google” contest. And he beat out 114,000 other kindergarten-through-12th grade contestants. They made drawings of the places they would visit if they could travel in time. Dylan’s doodle was called “Pirate Times.” It featured a deserted island with a parrot, a sword, and a treasure chest – with a pirate ship and a bright sunrise in the distance. His art teachers at Racine Prairie elementary school helped give him ideas.

Dylan Hoffman won a $30,000 college scholarship, and his school is getting a $50,000 technology grant. Also, Dylan’s mother – Katherina Hoffman – said the family was also scheduled to be on N-B-C’s “Today Show” this morning.
