The South Cariboo Aquatic Society (SCAS) is holding a contest to name their moose mascot this month.
Entry forms can be picked up and dropped off at the 100 Mile House Branch Library at 449 Birch Ave.
The final drop off of forms can be made at the SCAS booth at the South Cariboo Garlic Festival in Lac la Hache up to closing time, Aug 26.
Lori Fry, SCAS advertising and public relations officer, says the moose logo, designed by Lac la Hache resident Cameron Bird, was used in the society’s colouring contest last year, now needs a catchy name.
She says the winner of the contest will receive a gift certificate as a token of appreciation for his or her submission. The winner will also the honour of having his or her chosen name for the moose being used for future advertising and promotional purposes.
Fry encourages everyone to get involved and says she know there are many creative and talented people in the community.
Noting the society was formed four years ago, Fry says the current contest is another step to keep the awareness of getting an aquatic centre in 100 Mile House.
A mascot name-reviewing panel will make its decision once it has a chance to look over all entries.
The SCAS will be also be holding a yard sale at 258 N. Birch Ave. in 100 Mile on Aug. 18 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Bottle and can donations may also be dropped off there.
Proceeds from the sale will be used to offset society operating expenses, including advertising to create awareness of the project.
