Alpine Helen officials seek photos of you and yours enjoying the city
Have you and your family or friends visited Helen in the past 50 years?
If so, the Alpine Helen 50th Anniversary Committee would like to see any family-friendly photographs you have of your visits.
Those photos can include special events such as parades and Oktoberfest, the town and its landscape, or the people who live, work and play here.
As Helen, known as Georgia’s Alpine Village, prepares to celebrate in 2019 the 50th anniversary of its transformation from a sleepy former lumber town and then in 2020 will celebrate the city’s 50th Oktoberfest, the committee is gathering photos for use with new articles, in commemorative presentations and in displays that may appear throughout the city during the upcoming anniversaries.
Submit your best photographs of and from Helen to the committee at
[email protected]
. By sending the photographs, you consent for them to be used without compensation by the anniversary committee, the city or its assigns and agents for marketing the events planned in 2019 and 2020, as well as the city now and in the future, or to be displayed in the Helen Arts & Heritage Center, in historic and welcome center displays and for other purposes.
All photos submitted should include the names of those pictured (if of you and your family and friends), the approximate date or year of the photograph, and the occasion (vacation, special event, party, day trip, etc.). Also, please include the name, mailing address and contact information (email or cell phone) of the person making the submission.
Each person who submits a photograph for the upcoming anniversaries by Dec. 15, 2018, will be entered in a random drawing with three winners selected to receive prizes.
