Readers’ Choice: Green Ford Pickup! by Thomas Wieland
We’re excited to share our winners for the Lens on St. Croix Valley 2023 photo contest!
During the summer, we asked local shutterbugs to share their photos of St. Croix Valley with us. From July through August, you sent us scenic aerial shots, cute candids, breathtaking landscapes and more! We would like to thank everyone who took the time to submit their photographs to our 9th annual photo contest.
Now, please join us in celebrating our 2023 winners!
