The 2013 Tryon Daily Bulletin photo calendars have arrived.  The pictorial calendars were a gift to our readers. Produced by the staff of the Tryon Daily Bulletin and sponsored by area businesses, the calendars showcase local photographers who participated in our photo contest.

We received so many great entries, either through our website at tryondailybulletin.com, through emails or in person at our office on Trade Street, it was hard to narrow them down.  But I think we have picked the best of the best.

Congratulations to Fran Goodwin; this year’s winner of our annual photo calendar contest. The winning picture and this year’s cover, is of Claude Graves, owner of Little Mountain Pottery, standing in the entryway of his studio.

Many of the photo’s chosen for the inside pages automatically fit with the month they were paired up with. The June winner taken by Chrelle Booker depicts Joel and Tia Booker at the Polk County High School graduation.  The December winner is Heidi Winn. Heidi’s photo of son, Jackson Winn and Caroline Worthington, (daughter of Melissa Luedi) posing with their favorite horse, Morris, adorned with a Christmas wreath around his neck, was a great choice for December.

If you would like to enter the contest next year send in pictures that represent each month.  We like to try and match up the holiday or season with the photo for that month. Also, horizontal photos work better than vertical.

The winners’ chosen for the inside pages each won a year subscription to the Tryon Daily Bulletin.

Extra copies are available at the Tryon Daily Bulletin office for $2 each.
