July’s answer: The First Universalist Church of Camp Hill, located on Alabama Highway 50 in Tallapoosa County, was established in 1846 as Liberty Universalist Church; the name was changed in 1909. This brick sanctuary was completed in 1907 and built with local labor using mostly indigenous material, according to information on the church’s historical marker. (Photo submitted by Richard Wood of Tallapoosa River EC.) The randomly drawn correct guess winner is Donna Adcock of Covington EC. (Editor’s note: Because of delays with the July issue, we accepted entries through July 9.)
Find the hidden dingbat!

We love that all ages seem to enjoy finding our monthly dingbat in the pages of the magazine. This month, several of you told us that you hunt for the hidden object with your children and grandchildren. More than 200 of you correctly guessed the July dingbat, a grill, was hidden on Page 48 next to an outbuilding. Pamela Maten of Gilbertown, a member of Black Warrior EMC, wrote that it looks ready to roast hot dogs! Andrea Schulze of Central Alabama Electric Cooperative wrote that ever since her children, Erin, 9, and Adam, 7, “found the dingbat game in an issue a few months back, they pour over each magazine the minute it comes in!” Jessica Morris, a Wiregrass EC member from Coffee Springs, said her children usually find the dingbat before she does, but this time she found it while they were in bed. “It will give them a laugh that their ‘old’ mom could find the dingbat but I can’t find the TV remote. Thanks for the fun!” Alabama Living

I love the information in this magazine and I look forward to a relaxing evening to search for the dingbat each month.” On the other end of the age spectrum, Nan Morris says she and her 91-year-old mother Cauline McCain enjoy looking for the dingbat every month. They are members of Tallapoosa River EC.
