First Annual RCRCA Photo Contest

First Annual RCRCA Photo Contest

The first annual RCRCA photo contest was a great success. We received 131 photos from 43 different people. That was a good turn out for a three and a half month long contest, especially considering it was over the winter. The second annual photo contest runs from May 1, 2006 to February 1, 2007. This will give participants multiple seasons and more opportunities to get out and take pictures. Check back to the regular "Photo Contest Info" page this spring to see what changes have been made for the upcoming contest.

A complete list of all participants follows:

Ardis Alexander, Jeff Berdan, Carey Blomeke, Dan Braam, Margie Buckley, Emily Deaver, Dave DeJong, Conrad Flemming, Shirley Frickson, Joel Irlbeck, Joleen Irlbeck, Nan Kaufenberg, Kevin Kotz, James Luft, Lynn Marks, Loren Maserek, Jan Meidl, Danielle Miesen, Kathy Moe, Tyler Myrom, Bonnie Nielsen, Brittany Ousky, Wendy Ristow, Catherine Roiger, Brian Sams, Jeff Schapekahm, Nate Schapekahm, Rosanne Schapekahm, Macius Schroeder, Marjorie Schroeder, Rachel Schroeder, Raymond Seifert, Ellen Skramstad, Nathan Smith, Brian Swedzinski, Carl Swedzinski, David Swedzinski, Diane Swedzinski, Marie VanLoy, Ann Warner, Christian Weber, William Weber, Mary Woodford.
