As part of the state parks project, I've been trying some new things. One of those things was entering a fall colors photo contest sponsored by the Indiana State Parks Facebook page. I submitted two pictures, one from Charlestown and one from Chain O'Lakes. There were over 1,000 entries, so I didn't think I would win anything, but winning wasn't the point anyway. There was one grand prize winner (an amazing picture of a squirrel on a log with fall leaves all around it) who got a $100 gift card to the state park inns; there were 10 winners of annual park passes, 100 winners of day passes, and 20 randomly drawn winners of centennial pins (whatever those are). The winners were announced this morning, and to my surprise, I won a day pass for my Charlestown picture!
We already have an annual pass, but I'm pretty excited to put this day pass to good use: We're planning to go back to Turkey Run in January for the Eagles Weekend, and this time we'll be joined by Johnny and Erin and the kids, so we'll use our day pass so they can discover a new place. All year, we've been trying to pull people into the orbit of these beautiful parks, and I can't think of a better way to use this pass than to evangelize some more.
