String Cheese Wins Another Award!

The Texas Press Association [http://texaspress.com/index.php/services/2010-better-newspaper-contest/1514] just bestowed a FOURTH PLACE nod in the COLUMN WRITING category. Here's the snip from their website:

Division 6 Large Weeklies

1.  Hays Free Press — “Quit renaming our holidays” by Clint Younts. I always wondered what St. Valentine’s did. This column made me laugh. Good job and congratulations. “Clintodamus predicts the unpredictable” by Clint Younts. Very funny and creative. Looking forward to see what comes next!
2.  Fredericksburg Standard-Radio Post — “Cats Rule—And Don’t Forget It” by Terry Collier. Great storytelling. Everyone’s got a “pet the kiddo left at home” memory. Would have liked to have learned about those peppers! “Leading With Their Hearts” by Terry Collier. Nice!
3.  Fredericksburg Standard-Radio Post — “Meet Dr. No” by Cathy Collier. A story your readers can relate to. Update on terrible twos required! “He’s The Man” by Cathy Collier. Great job. Longest lead ever, in a way, and a delight to read.
4.  Cleveland Advocate — “Jury is out on lawyer shows” by Aryn Corley. Very nice. I was a little confused at first, thinking you meant CNN/FOX-type shows. Love the Mattress Tag Unit! “Don’t mock my smock” by Aryn Corley. Good column on a topic everyone is tired of!

Fourth in the whole state of Texas? WOW! It's hard to believe that all of my literary shenanigans are starting to pay off. Mrs. Karen Hundley, my senior high school English teacher, always thought I had something warped to share with the world. This win is dedicated to her.

Thanks to everyone who read my columns, support this blog, and charges me half-price for lunch.
