By Lita HutchinsonCALCUTTA -- The East Liverpool Calcutta Area Garden Club (ELCAGC) sponsored a photo contest last month that attracted participants from the tri-state area and now offers an exhibit of the entries.
The general public is invited to view the exhibit and cast a vote for their favorite photo overall. The winning photo will receive the "People's Choice" award, along with a check for $75.00
This is a community and family event that features 257 photos of flowers, some with people, animals and insects. The art was judged professionally, and the club awarded nearly $1000 of prize money to the best selections.
Nine-year-old Lizzie Orenzuk of Chester, West Virginia, submitted "Beautiful Butterfly," shown here. Her mother said she literally ran around for nearly an hour chasing the butterfly to capture the perfect shot.
The special Photo Gallery Exhibit is free and open to the public in Oct. during no
