Reception at the Redmond Public Library was held for the Winners and Runners Up of the Redmond Schools Children's 4th Grade Writing Contest on Saturday March 10. Kai Strand and myself were judges; Kai judged the written stories and I judged the illustrations. It was very hard to choose. We had over 200 entries that had to be paired down to 27 Finalist and the Winner and Runner Up.
The Winner was Aryana Foster from Central Christian School and her illustrated book "The Mystery of the Missing Clown." The Runner Up was Aspen Geisen from Tom McCall Elementary and his his illustrated book "Monkey Madness." Both got their books published, had a book signing (I have 1 of each), and now several copies are available at the Redmond Library for check out. I have been involved in this for about 4 years when Kathy Duffy started it all. My has it grown! It has been quite the adventure and is now handled by Central Oregon Writer's Guild. The contest is sponsored, in part, by Central Oregon Writers Guild, High Desert Society of the Arts, and the Rotary Club of Redmond.
