The City of Paducah 2011 Christmas Cards go on sale Tuesday, November 22.  The cards are $6.00 for a package of ten.  The City ordered 150 packages of cards.  The cards can be purchased, while supplies last, at the Finance Department on the first floor of City Hall at 300 South 5th Street between 8:00 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday.    The price of the cards is the same as last year’s price, which covers the printing charges.  The City does not profit from the sale of the Christmas cards.

About a year ago, PAPA Gallery selected the theme of ice skating and asked artists to submit their entries.  Sixteen works of art were submitted to the City to be voted on by the Mayor and Commissioners.  “Santa Takes a Break”, a watercolor by G.L. Gingrich, was selected as this year’s choice.  The watercolor shows Santa Clause attempting to ice skate on a closed ice skating rink.

The inside of the card reads “Merry Christmas and Happy New Year”.

City Hall will be closed Thanksgiving and the day after Thanksgiving.
