In case you hadn't heard, we held a contest this past month for kids 13 and under to enter a name for our newest manikin. We asked that each child write down a name that they like and why they chose it. On Valentine's day our employees went through all the names and we voted on our favorites. It was a difficult decision as all of the name entries were great! We did finally make a decision and we'd like to proudly introduce you to.... ARTIE MCFLY and our winner, 8 year old Zadie. Zadie's reason for chosing the name in her words were "Because Artie has the word "art" in it and it's an at store!" Good logic if you ask me! Above is a picture of Zadie and the fabulous all you could ever want art set that she won. Congratulations girl! Hope you have a lot of fun making art with your new supplies!
Also, as promised here are the runner up names that are just too good not to share. Thanks to all who participated! We had a lot fun with this one and look forward to many more contests and giveaways.
