Creative Kids, a PACER Contest

Ruthie Hardin is grand prize winner of PACER's 3^rd Annual Creative Kids Contest!

The 2008 card is now sold out.

The cards are a standard 4 ½ x 6 ¼ note card size, and include 8 cards per box with accompanying envelopes. All proceeds from the sale of the cards benefit PACER programs.

Creative Kids would like to give a special thanks to all of the contestants who contributed their inspiring artwork; to Anthony R. Whelihan, PACER’s artist in residence, and head of the Creative Kids Program; and to all the sponsors who made this possible: B&B Adcrafters, Gallery Services, Gannett Offset, and Penco Graphic Supply.

Card Front:

Ruthie's Story (as seen on the back of the card): At 10, Ruthie sees the world through an artistic, imaginative eye, even as a toddler, her artwork invited viewers in for a second glance. Curious and soulful, insightful and expressive, self-aware and wise, she often can be found in creative pursuits. On any given day, you’ll find her writing a poem, reading, biking, swimming, performing in community theater, playing the piano and clarinet, singing, concocting gluten- and dairy-free recipes, playing with friends, painting with watercolors or philosophizing about life. While she aspires to become a writer/illustrator or an occupational, physical, or speech therapist, her predominant life dream is to swim with dolphins.

2007 PACER Greeting Cards are still available!
