The $500 Grand Prize photo taken by Ashtyn Heiert.

Hope you were among the many who visited the Mess Hall during the 150th to view the exhibits and the entries in the “Spirit of Fort Thomas” photo contest. Saint Elizabeth Healthcare sponsored the Grand Prize. Ashtyn Heiert, an HHS upcoming senior, won that honor and $500.

Contest organizer Nancy Schneider says, “We wanted to show how people see Fort Thomas.” Overall, the photos covered a range of visual topics that ultimately presented a beautiful quilt of the spirit of the city.

The best 1-hour workout in the nation is at Newport Pavilion. Orangetheory Fitness. This is an advertisement. 

Ashtyn says, “It was an honor to be chosen for the Grand Prize.” She says of her particular photo that it “captures Fort Thomas’ traditional values as well as the tight knit community.” 

Bruno Giacomuzzi presents the award to Ashtyn Heiert.

Bruno Giacomuzzi, the Chief Operating Officer of Saint Elizabeth Healthcare and sponsor of the Grand Prize Award says, “We believe in being part of the community and this was a fun way to get involved. This is a great place to be.” The photo will be displayed in his office suite at the Fort Thomas hospital.
