Heart of Racine County photo contest underway

The Union Grove Area Chamber of Commerce is looking for photos from the public for its next community guide. Photos should emphasize the area by featuring the people, places and things that make the Heart of Racine County special. Suggestions include people participating in area recreational activities, having fun at local events, enjoying local entertainment, visiting local attractions and shopping in the greater Union Grove area, which includes Union Grove, Yorkville, Raymond, Kansasville and Dover.

Each photo submitted has the chance to be used in various Greater Union Grove Chamber publications and on the chamber’s website to promote the communities.

All photos must be submitted by March 10 and will be judged based on content and quality. The winner will be featured on the cover the 2016 Union Grove Area Chamber of Commerce’s Community Guide.
