This writing event was coordinated by English teacher Carla
Beck, Joan Ellen Gage, representing NCWN-West, and by Reba Beck, from CCHAC, a
retired art teacher from Hayesville High School. Reba Beck established the
original contests, (which at the time included art work), along with Nancy
Simpson (Brantley). Teacher Carla Beck was instrumental in coordinating the
contest with the middle and high school.
Awards for the judges were furnished by The Copper Door
Restaurant, Brother’s Willow Ranch Restaurant, and Rib Country (Hayesville).
Congrats to all.

Thank you, Joan Gage, for this post and for holding this contest each year. Congratulations to each of the winners and to those who entered their poems and essays. NCWN-west is always happy to be involved in this event. So happy Reba Beck and Nancy Simpson established this contest years ago.
