Annual Poetry Contest awards ceremony

     By the time you receive this newsletter, it will be too late to submit an entry for our 29th Annual Poetry Contest. But it won’t be too late to attend the awards presentation on April 26 at Circle Arts Theatre. The event will begin at 7 p.m., and the winners will read their winning poems and receive their awards. Awards will be presented to students in the following categories: fifth and sixth grade, seventh and eighth grade, and high school. There is also a category for adults. After the awards, the Greater New Braunfels Arts Council will hold a reception for the winners, their families, and others attending. Following the Poetry Contest events, the Greater New Braunfels Arts Council will hold its Annual Meeting, and all members of the Council are welcome to participate.
