Thanks go out to Steve Vadset and the rest of the staff at Town and Country Market for hosting the annual Hot Dog Lunch and Mustard Tasting, in very chilly weather. Folks warmed up with complimentary hot dogs while glimpsing all the entries to this year's Picture Your Pet contest and voting for the "People's Choice" award.
Thank you, also, to the Bainbridge Camera Club for judging the contest, and to all the animal lovers who entered their photos. As you can see, this year's pictures were better than ever!
