September’s answer: This small Gothic Revival style church is St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church at Gallion, Alabama, and is a frequent subject of artists and photographers. The church was built in 1853-1854. The design of St. Andrew’s is attributed to Richard Upjohn, the prominent New York architect. The church was added to the National Register of Historic Places on Nov. 7, 1973 and declared a National Historic Landmark the same day. (Photo and information courtesy of RuralSWAlabama.org) The randomly drawn correct guess winner is Vivian Rawlings of Clarke-Washington EMC.

“It’s hammer time!” declared reader Don Lee of Vina, a member of Franklin Electric Cooperative, one of 450+ correct guessers for September’s dingbat contest. Don correctly found the hammer hanging up with several other tools in the photo of the snake removers at work on Page 32. Cary Evans of Clanton reported that “my mother found it first and said, ‘It would be just like someone with a great sense of humor to put it on a snake page; most people dislike looking at snakes so the entry level might go way down.’” Our entries were about the usual number, although some readers claimed to find the hammer in a tree and another said it was in a man’s pocket. Barbara Carver of Bridgeport, a member of North Alabama Electric, wrote: “I found your hammer right where you left it, hanging on the wall with all the rattlers around. No wonder you forgot where you left it!” Congratulations to this month’s randomly drawn winner Stephen Davis, a member of Joe Wheeler EMC. Remember, the dingbat won’t be on Pages 1-8 or in an advertisement. This month we’re hiding a black cat, so good luck and don’t be a scaredy cat! Deadline is Oct. 8.
Thanks to J. Reid of Arab, who submitted a photo of her neighbors, Raven and E.J., who found the dingbat in their magazine from Arab Electric Cooperative.
