22 | April 27, 2017 | The Homer Horizon life & arts homerhorizon.com Enter quickly! Deadline for Vacation Photo Contest is May 3 Residents asked to submit photos from second-best trips Bill Jones, Managing Editor You know how you’re planning for a vacation? You’ve got months to figure it out. You’ve started working up an itinerary. You’ve vaguely thought about what you want to pack. You have an idea of where you would like to stay. How much money you’re going to bring. What the weather might be like. And then — oh, no — you’re leaving in just a week and you haven’t really gotten around to all of the things you needed to do before you take off. And who is going to feed the cat? And the mail! Who is from the $180’s grabbing the mail? Should I set a timer for the lights? And I’ve still got to pick up groceries for this week, but nothing perishable. We’ll be gone! Where did the time go? Why aren’t there more hours in a day? That is the phase you have now entered with 22nd Century Media Southwest Chicago’s Vacation Photo Contest. You’ve squandered the first week. Now, it’s crunch time. But there is no need to panic. You still have almost a week to enter. And it is easy.

This year’s theme is “second-favorite vacation,” and we want to see photos from your second-best vacations — those trips that maybe were not the greatest you ever took but were still a respectable amount of fun, time not completely wasted, things that made you grin, if not exactly ear to ear. Don’t get us wrong. We still want you to send to us your absolute best summer vacation photos, but we will be giving bonus points in judging for funny photos that depict so-so vacations, and so-so reactions to those vacations.

Since a consortium of “feeder schools” into LTHS started the event 16 years ago, not much has changed, said Sue Hudders, event coordinator and a social worker at LTHS. Attendees’ comments on questionnaire evaluations of the event have been “awesome,” Hudders said. “I’m not going to change something I know is effective,” Hudders said. Two of the few changes are that students in driver’s education classes now receive extra credit, and attending the event counts as one “make up” for an absence from physical education class. Hudders said that though the community is getting bigger, there is still that “small-town feel,” which is com or mail/drop off to Bill Jones, 22nd Century Media, 11516 W. 183rd St., 3SW, Orland Park, IL, 60467.
