Jefferson County and Eureka Leader readers are invited to share their favorite wedding-related photos for the “Share the Love” contest being held in conjunction with this year’s Leader Wedding Fair, set for Sunday, Feb. 5, at the Corpus Christi Event Center at St. Joseph Catholic Church in Imperial.
“We’ve published hundreds of engagements, weddings and anniversaries over the years,” Leader publisher Peggy Scott said. “It’s always fun to see those photos.”
Readers are encouraged to share a photo about their most meaningful wedding-related experience – from the proposal to the bridal shower, from the wedding to the 75th anniversary.
In order to be eligible for publication, all entries must include your name, phone number and town of residence.
Also include information about who’s featured in the photo you submit, as well as when and where the photo was taken and a brief description of what’s happening in the photo and why it’s one of your favorites.
One entry will be drawn at random to win a $200 cash prize.
The winning photo, along with as many others as space permits, will be published in the special section slated to run in the Feb. 2 issue of the paper.
Deadline to submit an entry is 5 p.m. Monday, Jan. 16. There are several options for submitting:
■ Bring to the Leader office at 503 N. Second in Festus.
■ Mail to the newspaper at P.O. Box 159, Festus, 63028.
■ Email to news@leaderpublications.biz.
