Scott Valley Libraries' Annual Writing Contest - 2010 
 

Gone

Fishin' 
 

The Fort Jones and Etna Libraries' celebration of National Library Week in 2010 will include the Gone Fishin' Writing Contest.  Tell us your real or imagined fish story.  You could exaggerate and create a whopper.  You could go fishing for (looking for) something other than fish. You could tell where they really went after hanging a Gone Fishing sign on their door...
