The Greensburg Public Library will be hosting the 2nd annual Week In Decatur County Photo Contest beginning on April 20. We are fortunate to be able to kick off this week long contest with a very special program on Saturday, April 19 at 10 a.m. when Russell Wilhoit will share his interesting and entertaining postcard collection. Russell has been collecting postcards from Greensburg and Decatur County's past for many years. This all new presentation will be given in PowerPoint format with an LCD projector so that all will be able to see each card in a large format. The actual cards will be on display for those who would like a more personal look. Russell will discuss each card, giving a bit of history and fact about each one. This collection of cards contain pictures of many of the lost buildings from the area, as well as various views of the "famous" courthouse tower, and homes, people, and places throughout the county. Russell's extensive knowledge of the history and genealogy of this area allows him to share a wealth of information with the audience. The postcard collection is fun and you will enjoy the history behind the cards. The present ability to email and telephone has rendered this "old fashioned" method of communicating with friends and family a lost art. This program is free and refreshments will be served. Please call the library at 663-2826 to register for the program or for more information.
