Our First Ever Photo Contest is over, and what a contest it was. The response was outstanding, the support tremendous and the images submitted are wonderful.

We want to thank everyone who entered, and everyone who helped get the word out with blog posts, facebook posts, emails and tweets. And big, big thanks to our generous sponsors and jurors.

Our jurors have their work cut out for
