We’ve enjoyed watching the images come in for this year’s Spring Break Photo Contest, but now it’s time to pick our winners and we could use your help. We’ve seen a fun range of photos this week, from sunny beach scenes…

And then, we got one from this close-knit family, proving that it’s cool to keep those cameras clicking, in good times, and in bad.  Most people dream of a postcard perfect spring break vacation, but the Heick crew caught the stomach flu this year and were forced to sit this one out.

There were 11 images submitted in our contest this year and we’re going to open it up to a vote. We’ll keep the photo poll open for the next three days until we tally the votes and announce our three winners at the end of the day on Monday, April 8th.

The three photographers who receive the most votes will each win one of these three prizes:

$100 in Chamber Bucks

The Barrington Area Chamber of Commerce is giving us $100 in Chamber Bucks to give to one winner. It’ll be a check you can spend at any Chamber member business in the Barrington area. That includes retail shops, restaurants, service providers and more, excluding our grocery stores. To see what businesses are members, visit the Chamber’s Business Directory at BarringtonChamber.com.

$50 to Spend at Wool Street

Wool Street Grill & Sports Bar is also offering one of our contest prizes. We have a $50 Wool Street gift card to give away. That’ll come in handy, especially as we return to the days when we can dine, drink and relax with friends in Wool Street’s awesome outdoor patio. But you won’t have to wait for the weather to warm up. To check out Wool Street’s food & drinks menus, music and events calendars, visit their website at WoolStreetGrill.com.

$40 to Spend at Deer Park Town Center

And Deer Park Town Center is offering a $40 gift card for one winner to spend at any of their stores or restaurants. Did you know there are new places to shop at Deer Park Town Center? Clarks Footwear recently opened near Avalon Salon and Day Spa. Also new is Bevello, a women’s designer boutique for clothing, shoes, accessories and gifts located next to Brighton Collectibles. And Lululemon Athletica is opening this month! They’ll be announcing the official Lululemon opening date at Facebook.com/DeerParkTownCenter.
