Garmann/Miller Sponsors "Design and Ad"
Garmann/Miller, along with other local businesses, lent their logos and slogans to an event organized by The Evening Leader newspaper. The "Design an Ad" event allowed local middle school students to learn about basic advertising design skills and techniques from the newspapers advertising department. After the lesson students designed their own ads. Each business picked their favorite ad and overall winners were also selected from each school by the paper. Ads were featured in an edition of The Evening Leader.
The winning Garmann/Miller ad below is from a student at Minster Middle School.
