Mayor Slay presented each student with a certificate of achievement, poster and gifts from local businesses, including Bissinger's.

"The Holiday Card Contest is one of my favorite holiday traditions," said Mayor Slay.  "I'm continually astounded by the artistic talent of our elementary students.  This year's winning design, featuring Fredbird and the Rally Squirrel playing baseball under the Arch, reminds us of the Cardinals' World Series win -- and the excitement felt in our City during that time."

Children 12 and under who live or attend school in the City of St. Louis were invited to submit a design for consideration in the contest.  Three hundred and thirty-two entries were received.
