Love all the facts and memories that happened during the flood. What a great way to display photos from that time that were not taken from old newspaper clippings.
Place Name: Third Place Contestant Name: The News Leader Entry Title: At risk and untested, new births, and old flag Entry Credit: Jeff Schwaner Judge Comment: It is always the simple things people can relate to.
