Mystery Photo of the Week (Jan. 26)

The Enterprise Dispatch web site is hosting a weekly Internet mystery photo contest in which a photo is taken in the Dassel, Darwin, Cokato, or Kingston area.
mystery126webThose who correctly guess the identity of the photo will be added to a monthly drawing for a free subscription to the newspaper.
The December winner for a free subscription is Betty Cropp of Darwin.Answers may be typed directly online at the web site (no special software is needed – just a web browser), or e-mailed to Kristen Miller at kmiller@heraldjournal.com. No phone calls please. We’ll publish the correct answer – and the name of the person who first identifies the mystery photo – in next week’s Enterprise Dispatch. As of press time, no one correctly guessed the mystery photo of the Twine Ball sign on the City of Darwin’s maintenance shop.

Kathy Munson was the first guesser for the Cokato Charitable Trust sign in last week’s mystery picture.
