Pick a Pic: Great Photo Give-Away at the MI Library on Oct. 14-15

Hundreds of B&W photos from the MI Reporter from the 1970s to about 2000 will be given away! 10 - 5 on Saturday, Oct. 14; 1 - 4 on Sunday

The Mercer Island Historical Society, in cooperation with the Mercer Island Library and the Mercer Island Reporter, is making available hundreds of black & white photos that were used in the production of the Mercer Island Reporter newspaper from the 1970s to about 2000. If you or a loved one had your picture in the newspaper then, come look for it during our two-day photo extravaganza. Take home your piece of history - for free!

Was your child in a photo for Circus McGurkus? Did you have young athletes whose photos were in the paper for playing a sport? Was your neighbor featured in a cooking column or a lifestyle article? Come hunt for old treasures!

We'll organize them in broad categories as best we can - but it's first come, first served. Donations to the Mercer Island Historical Society will be gratefully accepted.
