Turkey Hand Coloring Contest open to local kids

In what has become a Thanksgiving tradition, Canyon Lake’s children are being invited to pull out their crayons and markers, outline their hands and create their version of their holiday turkey.

The Canyon Lake POA is partnering with the Canyon Lake Family Matters Club to bring back the Turkey Hand Coloring Contest. This contest is for Canyon Lake children ages 2 through 12 and will run through Nov. 19.

Participating Canyon Lake children can create a turkey using a pre-made hand outline (available for download online at www.clpoa.com/turkeyhand), or they may outline their hand on a standard 8.5 x 11 sheet of white paper. Adding extra features to the picture, such as other animals, holiday decorations, scenery, etc. is acceptable, as long as the hand turkey outline is most prominent.

Artwork may be emailed to communications@canyonlakepoa.com or the artwork can be turned into the Canyon Lake POA’s office at 31512 Railroad Canyon Rd., Canyon Lake, CA 92587.

The child’s name, tract-lot number, phone number, email address and age should be included in the email and/or on the back of the submission (if turning in at the office). Parents are asked to please ensure that the child’s name does not appear on the front of the artwork.

The Family Matters Club is providing the prizes for the most artistic creations for the following age groups: 2 to 5, 6 to 9 and 10 to 12. Winners will be contacted on Nov. 25 and may pick up their prizes at the Canyon Lake POA office.

Artwork submissions will be showcased on the Canyon Lake POA’s Facebook and Flickr pages. The artwork submitted by the children will also be hung up at the offices of the Canyon Lake POA.

Parents are asked to please make sure that the child’s name does not appear on the front of the artwork.
