Wow! What a great response to our Tennessee Williams Festival Literary Contest. We had 35 entries in just 3 weeks and they were from all over the US. Our theme was Tennessee Williams and the Delta, but some of the submissions were about all aspects of the south, growing up in the south, working and living in the south. It was a hard job, but after much reading we decided (by a votes and number system) that Billy Howell, from Clarksdale, MS. won first prize with his submission entitled Howell Reflections at Cutrer. He will hopefully be presenting his paper at the luncheon at the Cutrer mansion on Friday during the TWF. We had a tie for 2nd with Dr Hillard Lackey's God Bless the Boon and Cal Trout with A Day on the Farm. I think the newspaper will be publishing these entries, we will see on Monday.
ANyway Congrats! to our winners. This is our first contest for a very young group...so we learned as we went. I wish we could give prizes to all of the contest entries.
Thanks again to our writers and judges!
PS Look for these winning submissions right here on our web blog!

Think any in our group who own a laptop (wireless) would be willing to bring it to next meeting and show everyone how to get to this blogspot and participate? I don't have one. Thought maybe J.Mayo might be able to attend soon...betting he has one.
