100 Years of Summer is here!

We’ve got 2 picture contests going.  Fun in the Sun and Then & Now.

Fun in the Sun can be just about anything; family reunion pictures, groovy 70’s shots, Mom and her prizewinning blueberry pie, the cabin you and your family visit every year, the epic stringer of fish caught at your secret fishing hole, favorite vista…it’s all fair game for Fun in the Sun.  Show us why you live, work or play in the Nation’s Vacationland!

Then & Now pics can be from area businesses, parks, maybe even Awkward Family Photo style picture recreations!

Postcards and news clippings can also be entered.

Fun in the Sun will be judged by Steve Heriot from Heriot Creative.  The Then & Now picture winner will be decided by drawing.

Enter by sending photos to 100YearsofSummer@parkrapids.com or on our website at the following links:
