ST. PETERSBURG

Help decorate the downtown waterfront and be a part of the winter holiday festivities. If you have an idea for a giant greeting card, submit an entry on two 6- by 12-inch white poster boards in a color, vertical format. Judging will be based on originality, execution, overall appearance and verse/concept. Winners will be selected from these entries, and cash awards will be given out. The greeting cards will be displayed along Vinoy Park for one month during the winter holiday season. The deadline for entries is Oct. 19. Call Polly at 892-5874 for more information.
