OWAA members recognized in AGLOW’s annual contests

Many outdoor communicators become members of the Association of Great Lakes Outdoor Writers just because of its annual conference. Each September or October, members travel to a different site for a gathering where they can come together to network, workshop and enter their work in contests. This year’s conference was held in September at Honey Creek Resort State Park on Rathbun Lake, Iowa. We would like to send a round-of-applause to all of the OWAAers whose work was recognized at AGLOW’s annual awards-in-craft contest.
