Trin Jensen Photography moves to downtown square
Trin Jensen Photography is on the move, in more ways than one.
The Aurora-based photographer has relocated to the downtown square, having operated from her home the past several years, and is frequently on location, taking wedding and portrait photos all over the nation and sometimes even on foreign soil.
With 11 years of experience and a growing reputation behind her name, Triniti Jensen says she has expanded her vision, resulting in business growth she would never have imagined when she first launched her photo business back in 2011.
An eye for photography
There’s something about a trip to Omaha’s Henry Doorly Zoo that catches Tiffany Stevens’ photographic eye.
While strolling through the desert dome on a visit with her family, the Aurora native found an owl in her lens, snapping a photo that won first place in this year’s Aurora News-Register amateur photo contest.
“I like to spend a lot of our time doing some photography when I take the kids to the zoo,” she said. “It’s such a great opportunity with such an amazing view so close up that I like to spend time trying to get the perfect shot of different animals. That’s pretty enjoyable to me.”
Seniors put up good fight in Legion tourney
In a total heartbreaker the Aurora Pinnacle Bank Seniors are done with tournament play for the weekend after a 2-1 loss to York in the fourth round Monday afternoon.
The weekend started with an 11-0 loss to York Friday evening at Levitt Stadium.
“We ran into a really hot York team and they have played well the last couple weeks,” said Coach Jeremy Burgener. “Otto didn’t have a great outing, but offensively we didn’t give him any support either. The pitch we saw didn’t throw any off speed and we never really connect with his fastball.”
Keno still hot ticket in Giltner one year later
A year later and the Keno game at the Sit N’ Bull bar and restaurant is still going strong, attracting money for the town of Giltner.
The co-owner of Sit N’ Bull Sherri Ditter, a proponent of bringing the game to Giltner, stated that Keno had a great 4th of July weekend, due to one special factor.
“We had a 30th birthday party back then,” Ditter said with a laugh. “So it was the younger crowd, there was three or four of them. They throw in so much money, bet and hope to make their hit.”
By now the game has its regulars that come in every week as well as the occasional spender, according to Ditter, generating a regular profit for the bar and town.
Edgerton campers spend week as superheroes
At the Edgerton Explorit Center, 20 children were as fit to be superheroes last week as any child can be.
In cooperation with Memorial Community Health Inc., executive director of the Edgerton Explorit Center Mary Molliconi led students on a week-long camp to make exercise fun for children by modeling activities based on their favorite heroes from comic books, TV shows and movies.
“We’re trying to think of something that weaves all those things together -- sports science, exercise and what kids love -- and you come up with superheroes,” Molliconi said. “The boys and girls love it equally. It’s really fun to think about, ‘Oh, if I was going to have a superhero power, what would that power be? Who would I be?’”
