The Times-Leader wants your memories.
As part of its annual 2010 Focus edition, the Times-Leader is seeking photos and stories about Hamilton County’s past. It could be about a business or farm or school or church or organization that no longer exists, or about the beginnings of something that’s still around.
The theme of our 2010 Focus edition will again be “Remembering the Past ... Looking to the Future.”
Individuals, businesses, churches, schools — anyone can submit a photo showing Hamilton County people, activities, buildings —anything that might make our readers stop, look and say “Remember when ...?”
We’d like to have photos that are at least 25 years old, but photos that show a recent change in how things are in Hamilton County are OK, too.
Please drop off photos at the Times-Leader office, 200 S. Washington St., on the downtown square, or e-mail them to paul.lorenz@mcleansborotimesleader.com, by Friday, March 12.
The edition will publish on March 25.
For more information, you may contact me at 643-2387. Thanks in advance for your participation.
