In the 2009 Cherokee County Senior Games/SilverArts (SilverArts: one word, two caps), in addition to Brenda Kay Ledford and Blanche Ledford, who won the silver and bronze for their life experience entries, Jerry Hobbs won the gold medal for his short story "A Slippery Bar of Soap and the Rose Colored Bikini."

Jerry Hobbs also won the bronze for his essay, "How To Sweep Away The Silence." Peg Russell won the silver medal for her essay, "Hanging Around In North Carolina And Cherokee County."



Cherokee County Games is in its second year, and Jerry, Brenda Kay, and Blanche have won medals both years. Richard Argo won the NC state silver medal in 2008 for his poem "Ode to Rock and Roll."

  1. I congratulate everyone who won in the 2009 Cherokee County Senior Games and Silverarts. The Senior Games is great,a lot of fun, and moltivates seniors to share their talents with others. I'm glad all of my fellow writers won medals and congratulate them: Jerry Hobbs, Peg Russell, Richard Argo (who won State last year), Judith Lott, Carol McAfee, John Tuffy. We have many talented writers in our area. I also want to recognize the NCWN-W members who are fantastic writers who entered the 2009 Silverarts: Shirley Uphouse, Richard Argo, and Mary Ricketson. A big High Five to all of these very talented writers!!!
