Harlan County bicentennial photo challenge announced
Published 10:23 am Tuesday, April 2, 2019
In celebration of Harlan County’s bicentennial, the Harlan County Hiking Club is hosting a photo challenge.
The idea is to get out and about in the outdoors, exploring and looking for things that you would normally miss while doing your everyday activities in Harlan County.
The #HarlanPhotoChallenge encourages you to get out and snap a selfie or location photo at one of 200 locations in Harlan County and then share on Facebook or Instagram with the hashtags #ThisIsMyHarlan and #HarlanPhotoChallenge (photo#) Example: #HarlanPhotoChallenge23.
You can follow @HarlanHikes on Facebook or Instagram to see what people have posted. Once you’ve visited all 200 spots and posted your photos, hikers can come by the Harlan Civic Center at 201 South Main Street to pick up a free #HarlanPhotoChallenge patch.
