2016 RISING SPIRITS ​WRITING CONTEST​

We each have a story to tell. A unique and compelling story of what stirred our senses. It could be as simple as a walk in the woods, the roar of an engine, the sound of distant life across a lake. This is an invitation to share what Rising Spirits means to you and to join in the celebration.
