Time to make a poster…

Here’s the word from Keri Talbot & Sally Thomsen at Island Rec:

Poster Contest for 21st Annual Children’s Festival and recruiting New Activity Providers

It’s time for San Juan island kids to let their imaginations fly high with this year’s Children’s Festival’s Theme: CIRQUE DE SAN JUAN

The 2011 Children’s Festival’s poster contest lets San Juan Island children show off their imaginative and creative skills.

Official entry forms are available starting February 20th, 2011 for artists of all ages ready to share their talents in the San Juan Island 21ST Annual Children’s Festival. Winning entries will be used to promote the Saturday, May 7th festival and its 2011 theme: Cirque De San Juan.

Prizes will be awarded to the top three entries. The first prize is a Whale and Wildlife Tour for four aboard San Juan Excursion’s boat The Odyssey.  The second prize will be a gift certificate to the Toy box, and the third place poster will receive a gift certificate to Osito’s.

Poster entry sheets are available at Island Rec (580 Guard Street). Entries must be submitted to this location by Friday, March 25th, 2011.

All artwork will become the property of Island Rec and will not be returned.

At this time we would like area activity providers to think “Circus” and begin to plan for this year’s theme, Cirque De San Juan.  It is an opportunity for established businesses to embrace our island locale when it comes to celebrating children.

We are exploring and welcoming new organizations to participate in this event.

This year’s committee is underway with preparations for the 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. May 7th event.  Please, mark your calendars.  For more information call Sally at 378-4953.
