The Awards Night tops off the SWA Writers Workshop week. It's a chance to relax and celebrate among new-found and long-time friends after a week of hard work and study. This year's theme was "Celebrating the Great American Author" and attendees were encouraged to dress as their favorite author or sport some red, white and blue. We had a variety of favorites present, from Flannery O'Connor to our own Board member and instructor Cappy Hall Rearick...3 of them! It was a fun night for all!
