FRESNO - Family and friends will join ten-year-old Marci Thiessen of Reedley when she views her winning artwork on a billboard high above Manning Avenue, tomorrow, Thursday, Aug. 15. They plan to arrive at the billboard site, 375 feet south of the Kings River on the west side of Manning Avenue at 10 a.m. Thiessen won the privilege of seeing her artwork on a local billboard for one month in a poster contest sponsored by the California Children's 5 a Day-Power Play! Campaign. The University of California Cooperative Extension administers the program in Fresno. The campaign encourages children ages 9 to 11 to eat at least 5 servings of fruits and vegetables daily. Thiessen's colorful poster depicts an image of herself balancing a bowl of fruit and vegetables. The poster reads: “Here’s To My Health.” As part of the prize package, Thiessen also won a helmet and new bike, which she will ride to the billboard site on Thursday.
