There’s something about the fall season that makes us all fall in love again with Grove!

Whether it's the mild weather or the colorful trees that line the shores of Grand Lake, it's easy to see why we love it so. This year, the Grove Area Chamber of Commerce and the Grove Springs Cultural District encourage you to get creative and capture what you love most about fall in the Grove area by entering the "Fall" in Love with Grove Photo Competition.

Entering is easy, simply take a fall-inspired photo of Grove, Oklahoma, and post it to Facebook or Instagram using the hashtag, #fallinlovewithgrove. A maximum number of 3 photos can be submitted. The photo with the most likes by Oct. 31st will win $50.00.

By uploading or submitting any photograph to this contest, the entrant grants the Grove Area Chamber of Commerce and the Grove Springs Cultural District non-exclusive license to display, distribute, reproduce, and create derivative works of the entries, including, but not limited to advertising and promotional materials.
