Thank you to all participants who shared how they like to celebrate in Stearns County! All pictures are displayed in the Stearns County Photo Gallery.
This year there were five winners chosen. Photographers of the top three photos won a summer celebration package worth $50, which included a thermal tote, golf toss game, bug spray, ingredients for s'mores, lemonade, beverage dispenser, and plates and napkins. All prizes were donated by Scheel’s, Sam’s Club, Walmart and Coborn’s. Two other photos were chosen to round out our top five. Those two winners each received an annual permit to Stearns County’s Quarry Park.
