How Fun?!

I think this is a great way to get out in the community this summer and take a closer look at the things you pass every day. We wake up, we go to work, we come home; the beauty of our little town sometimes gets lost in the daily shuffle. I can't wait to see this year's winners.

By the way, the contest ends August 31st 2022. For more details and for how to subit and entry, check out the city's website. Good luck!
