Appreciation
We're looking at the valley through your lens.
1st Place in People & Families

With such a scenic community, it's no surpise that the submissions for our Lens on St. Croix Valley 2022 photo contest were stunning.

During August we asked you to share your images of the valley with us, and over September we asked you to pick your favorites. Now, we're pleased to share the winners in our five categories: City Landmarks, Community Activities & Events, People & Families, Pets and Wildlife & Nature.

Keep an eye out, these winners and participants may be featured in our Last Glace page in future print issues through 2023.
