TUSCUMBIA– Colbert County Tourism and Convention Bureau is encouraging Shoals residents and visitors to take photographs of local attractions and create some special memories during National Travel and Tourism Week.
The bureau’s theme for National Travel and Tourism Week, May 2-10, is 
“Travel is Making Special Memories.” As part of the observance, the local tourism bureau is having a digital scavenger hunt on its Colbert Tourism Facebook page. Beginning Saturday, May 2, photographs from two attractions in Colbert County will be posted on the Facebook 
page each day through Sunday, May 10. Everyone who correctly identifies on Facebook where both photographs were taken will be entered into a daily drawing for prizes including T-shirts and free admission to local attractions. Everyone who posts a photograph of themselves at either of the attractions featured each day will be entered into a drawing for a grand prize that includes admissions to local attractions and lunch for up to four people.
Susann Hamlin, executive director of Colbert County Tourism and

We have attractions related to our music heritage, historic homes, our lakes, hiking trails and other places to enjoy the outdoors… There’s never a shortage of places to visit and things to do in Colbert County.”
There is no charge to enter the contest. The grand prize will be announced May 11. Complete rules for the contest will be posted at www.facebook.com/ColbertTourism. For more details call 256-383-0783.
