Kids can get in on the fun!
The Piedmont Garden Club is sponsoring a youth coloring/drawing/collage contest. Piedmont kids, ages 14 and younger, can download the coloring poster, create their own vegetable drawing or make a collage from the nature scavenger hunt page.
Email a picture of your colored poster, vegetable drawing or nature scavenger hunt collage to Chelle at cputzer@piedmont.ca.gov.
Please include photo, your child’s name and age, your address and email by September 18. There is a limit of one coloring poster/drawing/collage per child. Photos will be posted on the Piedmont Harvest Festival webpage and entered into random drawing for $30 gift certificate from Village Market on October 5.
It would be fun to do household scarecrows as well!
