Oakville kids can win a phone call from Santa in colouring contest
Published November 9, 2021 at 1:31 pm
Santa Claus may be busy preparing for his big night, but one lucky kid in Oakville with an artistic flair will have a chance to grab the big guy’s ear before Christmas.
Children will want to get out their crayons as a little colouring could win them a phone call from Santa himself.
To enter the Santa Claus Parade Colouring Contest, print out the 2021 illustration design by cartoonist Steve Nease or pick up a copy at any Oakville Public Library branch and then have your child colour it in.
Contestants must be 10 years of age or younger.
The top three finalists will have their artwork featured during Oakville Mayor Rob Burton’s fireside chat with Santa being held virtually on November 27 at 9 a.m.
The first-place winner will get a call from Jolly Old St. Nicholas.
