A centerpiece of the $25,000 fund-raising effort to rebuild Canton’s music stage is the production and sale of a coffee table book illustrating the flood and its aftermath. Canton Papertown Association is calling on county residents to donate their best flood photos to the cause. The photographer’s name will be printed with the photos.

“This is a very serious undertaking and only the best of the best will be published in this photo essay,” said Steve Banks, Papertown executive director.

Photos are needed immediately. The first copies of the book will be available at the Spring Festival the first weekend in May.

Digital photos can be e-mailed to stevebanks@papertownusa.com. Print photos can be mailed to Canton Papertown Association, 109 Main Street Canton, N.C., 28716. Call 828.648.9967 or visit the Papertown Web site for more information at www.papertownusa.com or
