Ice storm photos needed

Posted Thursday, February 26, 2009, at 9:15 AM

Paula Blackwell of Piggott submitted this photo for our contest, a perfect example of the mix of destruction and beauty the ice storm brought to our region.

The Piggott Times is compiling a commemorative volume to document the ice storm of late-January, and we're giving our readers a chance to be involved.

We're looking for the best of your ice storm photos, and the best of the best will be featured on the back cover of our special edition. Others will be used throughout the volume.

You can burn the photos to a disc and drop them off at our office in Piggott, or you can email them to piggotttimes@centurytel.net

We need high quality photos for the publication, so don't reduce them if you have the opportunity.

The deadline is 5 p.m. on Wednesday, March 4, 2009 and we plan to release the booklet around mid-month.

Send in your ice storm photos and be a part of our coverage of "The Storm of the Century."
