What is Love? Valentine's Day Photo Contest

Congratulations to this year’s Valentine’s Day Contest winners and thank you to all who submitted their heartfelt entries!

This year's winners are...

Package 1: Prizes from Jessica’s at Swift House Inn and Cole’s Flowers

This is my parents, Ginny & Bruce Hiland, who celebrated 60 years of marriage this past June. To me, this image of my mother leaning into my father’s embrace represents the depth of their affection and commitment to one another. They have modeled marriage well.

Package 2: Prizes from Tourterelle and Middlebury Floral & Gifts

Sending along a photo that shows what our idea of love is. For 6 years, my husband and I tried to have a baby. During this time there were many tests and procedures that led us to 3 IVF retrievals, 4 transfers, a couple of losses, and finally, our miracle baby. She is currently 13 months old. Sweet Charlie Sue. Our love for her started way before she came earthside; from our first injection to many more to follow. She was always worth every shot.

Package 3: Prizes from Black Sheep Bistro and Diddle & Zen

My children surprised me with a photo shoot for my 60th birthday with my children, their spouses, and my granddaughters. This is a photo of me surrounded by my loving children.
