- We have a Mariner's Trail photo contest.
They go to our website, which is marinerstrail.net
and they can submit up to five pictures.
We choose 13 pictures from about 175 that are submitted.
The hardest part is choosing the pictures.
I mean it is really hard.
If you have 175 turned in,
I would say 50 to 60 of them would be calendar quality.
We try to show action on the trail.
As well as -- we have quite a few flower beds pictures
and I think
I might be responsible for a little bit of that.
I saw a gentleman taking pictures.
I often stop and talk to people.
I said you might want to submit,
if you have some good pictures for our calendar contest
and gave him the information and he was from Italy.
It turned out he did submit.
I think he was second place in the calendar that year.
And so, we sent him a check and we sent him the calendar.
The pictures can come from the Marina Manitowoc area,
along the trail, all the way up to Two Rivers.
And we then produce a calendar.
And we sell that for $8 a calendar.
And all of the money goes back to the gardens.
