AuburnArt is collecting entries from members of the Auburn Family to compile a unique history of the legends, traditions, and memories of Auburn and to find out more about the ways Auburn fans value their connections to Auburn.  To encourage Auburn fans to enter the "Legends, Traditions, Memories" contest, AuburnArt created a video featuring several Auburn Legends and alumni who share their own stories about Auburn.  The video can be accesses at www.auburnart.com with additional videos added weekly featuring the legends, traditions, and memories of Auburn.

"Without its people's stories and memories, Auburn would just be a place," said Cliff L. Hare, great-grandson of Auburn legend Cliff Hare and owner of AuburnArt.  "But it's not just a place. It's a history, a relationship.
