The beauty of Rosser is on full display through impressive and artistic submissions to a recent photo contest hosted by the RM.
Susan Manchulenko earned third place with a stunning photo of aurora borealis
The RM of Rosser received more than 25 entries of photos that showcase the local community. Lacey Gillespie earned first place, Corey Giesbrecht earned second place and Susan Manchulenko earned third place.
The RM invites residents to continue submitting their favourite photos that might be appropriate for the municipal website.
“I was really impressed with all the photos received. And I want to thank our community members for participating,” said Reeve Ken Mulligan.
“I especially appreciated the photos that captured the farm essence or agricultural settings — near and dear to my heart, of course. I hope we continue to get photos that represent Rosser from people in the community.”
