Photo "fun' to come at FSF

Debbie La Rue wanted to assist in adding some fun to the upcoming Fulton Street Fair.

The result: The inaugural Fulton Street Fair Photo Contest. The event is being sponsored by the Callaway Bank, not by the fair, but it will attempt to capture the event's spirit and atmosphere.

"We've been talking about it at the bank for a couple of months as a way to create fun and help support the street fair," La Rue, the bank's director of public relations, said.

County residents and fair-goers are being encouraged to snap pictures of whatever they see. Fair photos, fair preparations, pretty much anything fair-related, is welcome.

Then submit those pictures to [email protected]. From there, the images will be uploaded to the Callaway Bank Facebook page and visitors to the page can vote on their favorites.

The contest's official announcement is today and photo submissions can start immediately. Voting on Facebook ends at 5 p.m. Friday, June 22, and the winners are announced on Monday, June 25.
