INDIANAPOLIS – That magical moment is quickly approaching where one lucky child will have the opportunity to “flip the switch” at Downtown Indy, Inc.’s Circle of Lights® presented by IBEW #481 on Friday, Nov. 25. Children ages 3 – 12 can enter the Carson’s Coloring Contest, which runs now through Nov. 14, by decorating the official coloring sheet of a large holiday light bulb.
Carson’s and Downtown Indy, Inc. invite children from all over Indiana to participate. Once again, five $529 CollegeChoice 529 Direct Savings Plans will be awarded to five finalists, based on creativity. Additionally, the finalists will receive a $100 gift card from Carson’s. One “grand prize winner” will receive an additional $1,000 courtesy of Carson’s towards a scholarship and will appear on stage with Santa to help light the Monument.
“Carson’s is thrilled to sponsor the Coloring Contest again this year giving children across the state of Indiana a chance to be a part of the Circle of Lights lighting ceremony,” said Jacky Howlett, Carson’s store manager. “Attending The Circle of Lights celebration is a family holiday tradition and we are happy to be part of the celebration.”
