Del Mar Elementary Schools “Paint the Cow” Art Contest!

Apr 30, 2018 | Giving Back, Neighborhoods

At Mendocino Farms, we see ourselves as more than a restaurant; our mission is to be a neighborhood gathering place that helps build community. That’s why we’re especially thrilled to be partnering with five local elementary schools in Del Mar to have their students paint mini “Mendo the Cow” statues for display in our restaurant. Students at Solana Ranch, Sycamore Ridge, Sage Canyon, Solana Highlands, and Carmel Del Mar Elementary Schools are competing to win a $1000 cash prize for their art program, and the community (that means YOU!) will cheer them on and vote to help choose the winning cow! 

 

To vote online, find the five Del Mar cow photos on Mendocino Farms’ Instagram page and click the heart to “like” and cast a vote for one or more of your favorites! To vote in the restaurant, visit Mendocino Farms at the Del Mar Highlands Town Center to check out the cows in person and receive a voting token with your purchase. In the Kids Corner, drop your token into the ballot box of your favorite cow’s school to cast your vote! There is no limit to the number of times you can vote in the restaurant. All voting ends at 9pm on Friday, June 1st! Full contest details below.
