Editor's note: We are excited and proud to present this year's edition of Kid-vertising. Thanks to all of the young people who took the time to create an ad for this year's promotion. And thanks to the businesses and organizations for participating once again this year.
ESTEVAN - The Estevan Mercury is delighted to present one of our favourite editions of the year.
The Aug. 28 edition of the Mercury features our annual Kid-vertising special, featuring the artistic talents of local youths and the support and services offered by local businesses and organizations. The ads can be found throughout this week’s edition of the Mercury.
Many budding young artists and local businesses participated in this year's promotion. The young people designed ads promoting the businesses.
This year's promotion started when the Mercury issued an appeal for children who love to draw and wanted to participate. The artists dropped by the office and picked up the name of their designated business, completed the artwork and then brought the ad back to the Mercury's office.
The artwork will not only be displayed in this week’s Mercury, but it will find its way onto the refrigerators and display boards of local parents, grandparents and other family members for a long time to come, providing extra value to the participating businesses.
The Mercury thanks the artists who entered and the businesses that participate in Kid-vertising. The Mercury looks forward to bringing this feature back again next year.
