I received this e-mail today and thought it would be a good idea to get behind one of our students from Wisconsin. Pittsville is located in Central Wisconsin, not far from Wisconsin Rapids and Marshfield. Please do me a favor and cast for vote for Colleen!

Good Afternoon! My name is Kris Doering; I am the head of the Pittsville School District Art Department. My students participated in the Heinz Ketchup Creativity Contest to design a ketchup packet. Heinz called me last Wednesday and out of 45,000 entries one of my second grade students, Colleen Lassa, was selected as a finalist by the artist Burton Morris. The public will selected the winner through online voting March 20th through March 25th @ http://www.ketchupcreativity.com/voting.aspx. Her design is a ketchup bottle swinging on a swing. If her design wins she will receive $1000, I will receive $1000 in art supplies, the kitchen will receive $1000 in ketchup, the design will be printed on 200 million ketchup packets, and the design will be made into a poster to hang at our school. The state of Wisconsin has never won this contest. Please vote and have everybody you know vote. Seeing how Pittsville is the smallest city in the center of Wisconsin, Colleen’s design would not be able to compete with the other finalist from larger cities without your help. I would deeply appreciate it if you would help publicize this on you radio station, and encourage your listener to vote online between March 20th and March 25th. Adding the link to your webpage would make the website accessible to your listeners.


Thank you,
