We have an exciting year full of photographic opportunities planned for 2010.
When we take a trip that calls for carpooling or vanpooling, we will meet behind the Cultural Arts Center, 8652 Campbellton Street, at the specified time.
Check back a couple of days prior to event for any changes or updates. Please keep in mind some plans are subject to change with little notice due to weather, cancellations, and/or unforeseen circumstances.

THIS YEAR'S PHOTO SEARCH CONTEST, which will be judged as part of the February 2011 field trip contest, is exteriors of Old Railroad Depots and Churches. It can be of the whole building or some detail on the outside of the building. If it’s a detail on the outside of the building, it must represent what the building is used for. Photo’s of things inside the buildings and pictures of windows or stained glass taken from the inside are not allowed.
Good Luck!
