The Wayne City Ruritan Club has announced the winner of its Amazing Americana photo contest, held in celebration of the nation’s 250th birthday.
First place went to “TNT Cameron” of Wayne City for a photo featuring pet pig Willie G. Cameron posing in front of a barn painted with an American flag.
The winning entry received a $100 Summertime Party Pack prize.
Honorable mentions went to Ellie Loker, Marcie Caldwell, Crystal Downen, Angela Hedden, Gillian Wilson and Carri Gammon.
Ruritan representative Gretchen Deitz thanked everyone who submitted photos, saying the community’s hometown pride and patriotic spirit helped make the contest a success.
Organizers say Willie G may also make appearances in future Bean Days promotions throughout the year.
