In the 1990's, during my Homeschooling Days, I would enter the Hanks Easter Coloring Contest. This particular bunny drawing is from 1998. The deadline was Monday, the 6th of April of 1998. So, kids would have a month or maybe longer to go to one of the two Hanks supermarkets, one in Cornelius and the other in Hillsboro, to grab this rabbit paper to color. I really wanted to win and I don't remember winning.

Annual Tradition

My younger sister would enter the contest too. This was one of the traditions we had in the 90's annually. We would collect a few to color and either submit the best one or perhaps all of them. The entries would get posted on the windows. The winners would be announced on Friday, the 10th of April of 1998 for example, that is at the end of the week.
