printable calendar

The Douglas County Historical Society is running a year long photo contest to put together a calendar for 2009. This calendar will contain the winning photos for each month, showing what we who live here think best represents Douglas County in each month. Each monthly contest closes on the last day of the month, excepting months that end with a Sunday. The contest began in October of 2007 and will conclude in September of 2008 with calendars being available for pre-order in July of 2008. DCHS will have the 2009 calendar in the hands of the public in time for Christmas 2008 gift giving. Photo Contest Entry Form
