Mother's Day is just around the corner, and the City of Humboldt wants to give one lucky mother a very special day. 

The Give Your Mom A Break Mother’s Day Contest has begun, sponsored by the City of Humboldt, Diamonds of Detroit, Sobeys, Boston Pizza, and Bolt Cleaners to show appreciation for mothers. 

“It is an essay/poem contest; the prize value is approximately $500. In that prize value there are five weekday supper meals for a family of five, a house yard cleaning package and a jewelry package,” stated Andrea Tonn, Recreation and Community Events Coordinator. 

The essay/poem submission has a maximum of 200 words, with photos of submissions accepted. Those looking to enter can send the submission to recprograms@humboldt.ca and must include the mother's name, phone number, and name of the person submitting.

The deadline to enter is May 6, at 12:00 pm, with the draw taking place May 6, at 3:00 pm.
