From The Lecturer's Desk
From the Lecturer’s Desk: Family Fest Photo Contest Winners
 

By David Roberts, CT State Grange Lecturer

  SEPTEMBER 1, 2023 --

It is such a joy for my Connecticut State Grange Lecturers Department to partner with the Connecticut State Grange Family Activities Department to host the annual Connecticut State Grange Family Festival which was held on Sunday, August 13, at Hillstown Grange. I want to thank Granby Grange Lecturer Judy Doyle who supported me on this initiative while my family and I were out of town in Washington, D.C.

The Connecticut State Grange Lecturer’s Department again sponsored our annual Photography Contest with some great prizes. There  were  four  categories: My America/Grange Activities, Animals, Old Trucks/Barns, and Let’s Make a Snowman. Judy Doyle decided to separate the photos into two categories this year: Adult and Junior. Winning photos will be displayed at State Session and then returned to their owners. Here are the photography contest winners for 2023:
