SUGARCREEK TWP. — Photographers in Bellbrook and Sugarcreek Twp. outdid themselves capturing the beauty of the Bellbrook-Sugarcreek Park District and surrounding areas, said Alison Jenks, the park district’s program coordinator.

The park district held a photo contest from July to September to gather pictures for a 2012 park district calendar. They had 84 entries from ages 10 to 85, with about 2,200 votes from residents picking the 12 winning photos.

“I was overwhelmed, but in a good way,” Jenks said. “There was such a great response, we’re definitely going to be doing it next year again. People really got out in our parks.”

The winning photos will appear in the 2012 calendar, available free to area residents beginning Nov. 17 at the Bellbrook-Sugarcreek Community Center, 2751 Washington Mill Road, and from 5 to 7 p.m. Dec. 3 at Christmas in the Park, at Bellbrock Park, 57 N. Main St.

The overall contest winner with the most votes was John Smith of Bellbrook, Jenks said. His picture shows a fawn in his backyard near Little Sugarcreek. The other top winners were Laura Barlow of Bellbrook, who took her picture on a foggy September morning at Sackett-Wright Park; and Denise Terry of Bellbrook, who captured colorful fall trees reflected in a pond along Wilmington-Dayton Road.

The rest of the winners, in no particular order, were: Lisa Campbell, Marcell Dezarn, Kristin Heil, Connor Robinson, Samantha Smith (three photos), Bronne Wilson. and Trisha Hannah.
