Did you ever win anything in your life? Growing up I never won a raffle or a Giveaway in school or at work but I think my luck is changing. This week, I finally won something! My photo 'Fun at the Stockade' got the People's Choice award under Community Vitality at the recent Schenectady Smiles Photo contest. We were among the hundreds of people who gathered outside of Schenectady City Hall to show community pride and love. If you are curious to see all the winning photos on display, stop by the City hall soon!
