Events & Programs - 2009 Calendar of Events

The Douglas County Historical Society invites you to participate in celebrating the best of historic preservation by nominating most deserving of the Douglas County Historical Society Preservation Award.

The Douglas County Historical Society is running a year long photo contest to put together a calendar for 2010. 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 2008 and will conclude in September of 2009 with calendars being available for pre-order in July of 2009.

The 2009 calendar is available to purchase. Photo Contest Entry Form
