BE A ROCK STAR!!! JDP is creating a rock garden to honor/memorialize our own pets and show our love and respect for all of our animal companions. We'd like to invite all the creative kids in Stratford 16 years of age or younger to paint a rock with an animal theme - picture or saying - and bring it to the park on Sunday July 5 between 10 AM and noon. The first 25 entrants who donate a handpainted rock to our rock garden will receive a $5 Five Below gift card!
Rules:
You must be 16 years of age or younger to enter
You may submit up to 3 rocks, but there's a limit of one $5 gift card per entrant, for the first 25 entrants
Rocks should be a minimum of 3 x 3 inches and a maximum of 6 x 6 inches (or approximate equivalent in length x width; no pebbles and no boulders please!)
Adults are welcome to paint and bring in a rock, but only the kids are eligible for a Five Below gift card.
