The Ortonville Post Office will sponsor a stamp coloring contest and accept letters to Santa during the next week for Christmas in the Village. All children are welcome to enter the coloring contest, and bring a letter to mail to Santa.
Judy Hickman, Ortonville postmaster, has set up a ‘holiday mailbox? for the letters. Santa will take the letters to the North Pole when he leaves Ortonville and he will also draw three coloring contest winners. All holiday stamps will be displayed in the Post Office.
‘The coloring contest isn’t based on who colors the best,? says Starlene Fotco, post office employee. ‘Santa prefers the winners are selected at random from all the good girls and boys. There will be three top winners, and they will all get a prize.?
Letters and the colored stamps should be returned to the Ortonville Post Office by Dec. 1. The Ortonville Post Office is located at 55 Pond St., Ortonville. (248) 627-2070.
