The Millen News will be publishing later this year a “Tomorrow’s Leaders” column featuring photos of local children.

A professional photographer will be at the Jenkins County Agriculture Center, Friday, March 26, from 2:30-7 p.m. to take photos. There is no obligation to purchase anything, no sitting fee and no fee for publication in the newspaper. You will, however, have the opportunity to purchase photos at a later date if you desire. All photos for the newspaper feature must be taken by the photographer at this time.

To make an appointment to have photos of your children or grandchildren taken just in time for Easter, call me at 982-5460. You MUST have an appointment.

This feature was well received in the past, and we are hoping to renew it.
