Love great photography? We have an eyeful for you! Join us 6 p.m. June 6 at ALIOS Gallery on Main Street.

And don't forget to pick up our June issue to see the fine work of all the contest winners and finalists!

Oh — and don’t forget to vote in our bonus “Readers’ Choice” ballot online, where we feature the winners as well as honorable mentions we couldn’t cram into the magazine. Voting is free, easy and fun, and you’ll be entered to win a $100 dining certificate at a great Vegas restaurant. Just visit desertcompanion.com/photocontest/vote and start clicking. 

... Tilly! Tilly is a labradoodle who took top honors in Desert Companion and The District's Next Top Dog contest May 9. After an endless pageant of utterly heart-melting furry cuteness -- to the tune of more than 300 canine entrants -- Tilly took home the grand prize after wowing judges with her perky personality and furry charms. See the pics from the event here -- and congrats to everyone who entered. Also thanks to Carol Riback and Vicki Callahan of the Vegas Valley Dog Obedience Club, who shared eye-opening tips on maintaining a well-behaved pet.
