Children living in Manchester, who are between the ages of 5 and 10 years old are encouraged to submit a picture and two or three sentences on what the holidays mean to them. The contest runs through 5 PM on November 8. You can pick up and drop off entries at Silk City Coffee, 763 Main St. or Center Church, 11 Center St. through 5PM on November 8.
