AHP Newsgroup: “Ponies & Puppies” Young Artist Contest to Benefit St. Jude’s Children’s Research Hospital

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Contact: Sharon Miner, 814-937-0704, sharonminer@yahoo.com

Children’s author, Sharon Miner, will be hosting a young artist contest, "Ponies & Puppies," to benefit St. Jude's Children's Research Hospital - http://www.stjude.org.

“After our son died last October from cancer, and my nephew the year before, I’m a firm believer in cancer research,” says Miner.

It will be held during Kids Day at Horse Shows In The Sun (HITS) on Sunday, March 14 from 11 am - 4 pm. The show grounds are located on SR 27 in Ocala, Florida. See http://www.hitsshows.com.

There is no entry fee and each child up to 16 years of age who submits a drawing or painting will receive a gift, with the Grand Prize winners receiving copies of the author’s books.

Beloved Sport Horses is a collection of true short stories featuring a leading HITS Grand Prix rider, Tracy Magness, and several other riders and trainers from Florida. The fourth book of the Beloved Horses series will be released this fall. Woogie’s Travels – Looking For a Friend is about the author’s Irish Terrier.

“I will be selling and signing my three Beloved Horses books, Woogie's Travels, as well as my three young adult mystery novels,” adds Miner. “Donations of 20% of all sales will be sent to St. Jude's, and other donations will be appreciated. If you are unable to attend this event, you can send checks made out to St. Jude's and mail them to me at 5004 E. Fowler Ave, Ste C150, Tampa, FL 33617. Or place an order during March for one or more of my books using the order form on my site, and I'll donate 20% of all orders to St. Jude's.”
