During this
holiday season many of us will reflect back on earlier times in our lives. We
spend a lot of time inside with family and friends. It is a time of year that
conjures up fond memories of times gone by and those wonderful memories are
discussed with visiting family and friends that visit over the holidays.
Since I am
in tourism I want to bring that reminiscent feeling to life in the written
word. DeKalb Tourism and the Times Journal would like to hear your favorite
story about things you did and places you visited in DeKalb County. Your story
can be from something you did this summer or it can be from your childhood, no
matter how long ago. It can be about an attraction that is no longer here or no
longer in business. It can be a story about an afternoon picnic or a four day
adventure down in Little River Canyon. If it is a funny family story or an
exciting adventure, please tell it to us.
The rules are simple:
*It must have taken place in DeKalb
County
*It needs to be about a public
attraction; a park, hotel, cabin, B&B, campground, hiking, picnicking,
kayaking, repelling, bird watching, nature study, summer camp, biking, water
events, etc.
*It should be no more than 600 words.
Deadline is January 31, 2015.
The top five
stories will be printed in the Times Journal next year. DeKalb Tourism will use
them to promote tourism to DeKalb County on social media, blog spot and other
locations. You will always be listed as the author.
Submit them
to Heather Buckner at the Times Journal. Email them to her at hbuckner@times-journal.com. A panel of judges at the Times Journal and I will
review the entries and pick the top five most applicable stories.
This is a
fun project, so don’t procrastinate. I know you have a good story to tell
because I have heard some of them told to me already.
