Last week for vacation photos Melissa Gingrich wins gas grill grand prize

This is the final week to submit your favorite vacation photos, past or present, for the next round of "It’s All About You."

Deadline for submissions is Aug. 21 for our Aug. 29 publication, so don’t put it off. Each month, our judges will select a best photo for a $25 restaurant gift certificate. This month, we’re awarding a second early bird prize to meet American Idol star Bo Bice during his Aug. 21 concert in Ephrata. Deadline to win that prize is Aug. 16 at noon. Announcement of the early bird winner will be in next week’s paper.

In the meantime, we continue to award weekly prizes, and we’re pleased to say that Melissa Gingrich of Lititz is the winner of our It’s All About You grand prize, a Weber gas grill. Melissa was selected from all those who submitted photos throughout the summer, beginning with our special veterans section in May. Congratulations, Melissa!

Submitted information should include names of those in the photos, your local connection, where and when the photos were taken, and identity of the photographer. You may submit multiple photos, but the number of photos published will depend on available space. ? Terry Soldner, Ephrata, $25 embroidered stadium seat from John Weidman & Sons, Inc.
