2015 Winners:
1st Place:
First place went to Mona McKinley from Winter Haven who took The 863 to the Swiss Alps and was photographed with the Matterhorn in the background. Gee, that mountaintop almost looks like a tiara…
2nd Place:
Second place was snatched up by Winter Haven’s Jane Kilvington, who took The 863 to England and read her copy while in front of a village welcome sign that bears her last name. We dig her nonchalant pose.
3rd Place:
Third place was taken by Gretchen Suarez-Pena from Bartow, who brought her copy to casually read in front of the El Morro Fort in San Juan, Puerto Rico. Good choice in vacation reading material, Gretchen.
Honorable Mentions:
