Redmond city news briefs

Are there special buildings to you in Redmond? In celebration of Historic Preservation Awareness Month in May, the City’s Historic Landmarks Commission wants to see which Redmond places and buildings matter most to you with the 1st Annual This Place Matters Photo Contest.

Take a photo of yourself or someone you know holding a This Place Matters sign in front of a Redmond home or building that is 50 years or older and submit it to the City (along with an entry and photo release form) by April 25th for the chance to win prizes.

This Place Matters signs can be a homemade sign, or you can download a pre-made one from the City’s website (www.ci.redmond.or.us/government/this-place-matters), or pick one up at City Hall. Entry and photo release forms are also available on the City’s website or for pick up at Redmond City Hall.

Winning entries and prizes will be announced at the Hunt for History Biking and Walking Tours on May 14, 2016 at Centennial Park. Photos will be displayed on the City website and at various locations around Redmond during the month of May.

For more information, please contact Historic Landmark Commissioners Shannon Rose 541-216-3471 or Judy Fessler 541-763-4224.
