It may seem like the winter sports season has just begun, but it won't be long until teams end their year with thoughts of spring and baseball and soccer. Sometimes, the team has already disbanded when some parent or coach realizes, "We didn't have a picture taken!" Before you wrap up your season of hockey, ringette or other winter sports.. make sure you arrange to have a photo taken for The Huron Expositor's popular Sports edition. You can borrow black and white film from the newspaper, take a colour photo with your own camera or have a professional photographer take a pic- ture of your team. Just be sure to submit the photo to The Huron Expositor (with names listed underneath) bythe deadline of Friday, April 19th by 5 p.m. If you are unable to make these arrangements, contact a member of The Huron Expositor sports news team to have a photo taken for the edition. We would like to include all local winter sports teams, but this is only possible with your co-operation. Thanks for your help! itor 100 Main ST., SEAFORTH � " f 527-0240
