Catch ’em Reading in Dripping

Summertime! It’s time to remind everyone that reading for fun and
information is a part of life’s long adventure story. In Dripping
Springs, you will find lots of readers of different ages and occupations
and everything else! So, grab your smart phone or your camera and find someone reading in Dripping Springs to photograph. Ask your family members or your friends to pose with a favorite book. Would a teacher or Scout leader be a good subject? Are they reading a text, a newspaper, a sign, an eBook? You decide! And, using a local landmark is a fine idea! You will earn bonus tickets for the weekly drawings for every original photo submitted. And, your photographs will be included in the final judging for three winners on July 31, 2013 by the Photographers of Dripping Springs. For full details Click Here. |
