The State Fair is up and running, and so is our third annual Hit Us With Your Best Shot photo contest.
Each week, we're picking a winner and featuring it in all 17 of our print editions. (The photographer also gets an iPod Shuffle.)
By posting a 2009 State Fair photo on neighborsgo.com, readers are eligible for our grand prize, which will be judged by a Pulitzer Prize-winning photographer at The Dallas Morning News.
Week 1 saw some great entries, including a local hero turned pop star, a smiling corny dog and the Big Man himself.
Scroll down to see the Week 1 finalists, plus the winner, which is a great antidote to the dreary weather we've been having around here lately.
Congratulations to all and thanks to everyone who has shared their images with us. (And if you didn't win or would like to enter, don't worry - we encourage people to post early and often. Find details on how to do so here.) Enjoy!
