We are excited to announce the “launch” of our latest photo contest, the “Spirit of Northport and East Northport” Photo Contest. For the next few weeks in our newsletter we will continue to look, decade by decade from the 1940s through the 1990s, at important milestones in our area’s history.
We hope they will remind you of your own family stories, and jog your memory about photos you or your parents or grandparents might have saved that were taken during those years. We hope to encourage you to contribute any photographs you can find from your own archives that capture the spirit of Northport/East Northport from that time- these images will be added to our collection and help illustrate and preserve the stories and images of our community.
Six winners will be announced. Each winner will receive a tote bag which includes: one year family membership to the Society, the book “Northport,” a car magnet, a t-shirt, and other Society publications.
