Photo contest deadline extended

Due to last week’s national tragedy, delayed airline flights and tardiness of photo processing at many stores, the deadline for our "Take Your Acorn on Vacation" photo contest has been extended until 5 p.m., Fri. Sept. 28. Please submit your entries by that time to be eligible to win our cash prizes ($100 for first place, $50 for second and $25 for third place).

We expect to run photo pages over the next 12 months, so be sure to watch for your vacation picture in The Acorn.
