There is still another week for Jefferson County and Eureka residents of all ages to share memories of their favorite vehicle or other mode of transportation in the “My Best Ride” photo contest, sponsored by Grand Times, Leader Publications’ magazine for senior citizens.
Readers can send in pictures along with a brief explanation for the chance to win cash. Three winners will be drawn at random to earn prizes – $100 for the first name drawn, $75 for the second and $50 for the third.
The deadline to enter the contest is 5 p.m. Friday, Sept. 29.
The Oct. 12 issue of Grand Times will feature as many entries as space allows, and additional photographs will be posted on our website, myleaderpaper.com, at a later date.
The upcoming Grand Times will also include information about the Eureka Senior Expo, set for 8 a.m. to noon Wednesday, Oct. 18, at The Timbers, 1 Coffey Park Lane.
Photo contest entries should include the following information:
■ Entrant’s name, age, address and phone number.
■ The date and place the photo was taken and by whom.
■ The names of any people in the photo.
■ The make, model or type of vehicle and how you obtained it.
■ Any other information about the photo that explains why it is memorable.
