Happy Trails Photo Contest – Exhibit Opening & Awards Ceremony

In celebration of the Ashokan Rail Trail’s sixth anniversary, WLC collaborated last fall with CPW: Center for Photography at Woodstock and KATrail.org to launch the Happy Trails Photo Contest. The submissions are in, and the judges are ready to announce winners in the three categories as well as a Best in Show at the Exhibit Opening and Awards Ceremony. Join us March 7 from 3-5 p.m. for an afternoon of celebrating the art of the ART.

Professional photographers Jamie Kennard, Phil Mansfield and Amanda Russo Rubman judged the entries. The awards will be announced March 7 and on display with the other entries through April 5 at CPW, which is located at 25 Dederick Street in Kingston.

Photographers — both professional and amateur — were encouraged to submit their favorite ART photos in one of three categories: landscape, flora and fauna, and happy faces. Regardless of the season, the Ashokan Rail Trail offers breathtaking views, interesting wildlife, gorgeous blooms and smiles from walkers, runners and cyclists. The photo entries captured the rail trail at its best.

We hope you will drop by to congratulate the winners while enjoying refreshments and exciting information about the rail trail and its future. In order to ensure we have enough refreshments, we are requesting you register for this free event by clicking here.

Please also join us in thanking Bread Alone, Catskill Art Supply, Hudson Valley Seed Company and KaN Landscape Design for providing awards for our winners.
