Recently, a photo of the Bent Run Waterfalls by Jon Holiday was used for the cover of the Warren County's tourist magazine. Mr. Holiday gladly donated his work and credit for the work was given to him inside the publication. Wikipedia has published a photo by Chris Lareau at its Allegheny National Forest web page and an edited version of this photo has appeared at the Kinzua Country Tango Website. It is gratifying to the editor to be of use for such a worthy organization. The Warren Parks and Recreation Commission recently used three photographs by Chris Lareau for its Warren, Pennsylvania video.
