This is the last week to get your coloring pages finished. All the children ages 0 to 12 are invited to color as many pages as you wish using crayons, colored pencils, pens, markers, or paints. However, glue, or attached items such as glitter or cotton to your pages are not allowed.

Take your finished pages to the stores whose names appear on the page – but first, be sure to fill in your name, your parents’ names, address, and telephone number on the back! The picture for the Oneida Pioneer Museum and MPI Water Solutions should be taken to the Idaho Enterprise. Deadline for returning your completed pictures is Monday, December 2. Only one entry per child for each participating merchant is allowed. 

Each merchant will judge entries in their store contest and winners will be notified of the day their photo will be taken at the store, Friday, December 6. Please be on time for your photo! Merchants will award their chosen winners on the day of the photos. The Grand Prizes Drawing conducted by The Idaho Enterprise will take place Thursday, December 12 starting at 5:30 p.m. in the Events Center at the Oneida County Fairgrounds.  

Lots of prizes will be given away at the drawing, including a Nintendo Switch Mario Kart Bundle donated by Gary and Sherma Shepherd and Nicole Green of the Dude Ranch Café as well as bicycle’s, and TVs for the grand prizes. Other prizes will be games, art sets, baby dolls, and much more. Kids must be present to win.

There will be hot dogs, walking tacos, crafts for the kids, and a special guest, SANTA!
