The Oxford Leader and The Oxford Area Chamber of Commerce are hosting the first ever Ground Hog A-Go Go Creative Writing Contest.
Youngsters all over the Oxford area are encouraged to submit their essays, short stories, poems, briefs, tidbits, etc. on groundhogs or Groundhog’s Day for a chance to win a $50 savings bond from The Leader.
The only requirement is entries must be 300 words or less. Other than that, let your imagination run hog wild!
Entries will be separated into two age categories – 1st through 3rd grades and 4th through 6th grades, with one winner selected from each.
All entries must be received by Friday, Jan. 23. Winners will be announced in the Jan. 28 Leader.
