[Deptheads] Painting Contest

Mon Dec 5 14:17:55 PST 2011

Strange timing on this...
Caileigh was asking again this morning why she never got an e-mail back
from the con about her idea for kid prizes and I think it is valid. She
would like to see smaller age brackets for kids. Can we perhaps "award"
stickers, 1/4 page certificates, or something for the tykes that paint?
(Caileigh is 5 and wants to be a minis painter when she grows up)
I don't know if Strategicon in general is trying to beef up the kids area,
but this would be an easy thing to start with. I know Keith is going to
need more to do soon.  ;)
