"The Wood County Historical Society is proud to present the Smithsonian traveling exhibit BETWEEN FENCES at the Wood County Historical Center & Museum April 9 - May 7, 2010.From September 1, 2009 - April 1, 2010, the general public is welcome to submit digital photographs of local fences for public display on the Museum's "FENCES ON FLICKR" public website at http://www.flickr.com/photos/infirmary. 

Although submitted images will be available for public viewing during that time, the gallery will be highlighted April - May, 2010 with marketing, web attention, and possibly a "showing" alongside the physical exhibit."
