The rural Oklahoma Museum of Poetry offered a poetry contest for students K-12 with each grade level writing over a traditional Oklahoma symbol. We had many entries and Ms. Bexlynn Bruner, 1st grade in Paula Unger's class placed second with her poem about the Oklahoma Symbol for the fur bearing animal the raccoon. She won 2nd place and the only winner in Adair and Cherokee county at all so shout out to her! Her poem was called the Oklahoma Trickster. Way to go Bexlynn! Her poem will be published in an anthology that will be available for purchase at Barnes and Noble! (I will send the link soon for anyone interested.)
There will be an "open to the public" Wonder City Wordfest festival in Locust Grove on April 11th to celebrate words and community.
