Creative Expression: Short Story and Poem
Williamsburg Christian Academy freshman Franklin West entered the Short Story category, with his submission “Sojourn on THE CANAL”, which chronicled his recent bicycle tour of the extensive Pennsylvania and New York canal system with the Boy Scouts, and how that trip would not have been possible if not for the existence of Virginia’s State Park System.
