TOOMEY OF ALLENTOWN WINS
AMAZING FEETS PHOTO CONTEST
The Da Vinci
Science Center announced today that Diane Toomey of Allentown, Pa. is the
grand prize winner of its Amazing Feets Photo Contest, presented by Dan's
Camera City.
Throughout the summer, friends of the Da Vinci Science Center submitted photos
of their feet doing amazing things for the contest.
Toomey earned a $50 Da Vinci Science Center gift card for her photo of her
11-year-old daughter, Hannah, playing cards.
Toomey says
of the photo, "Hannah's feet are doing an amazing good job holding her
hand of cards and also holding her drink. This frees up her hands to pick
up popcorn and extra cards when needed."
