Place Name: First Place Contestant Name: The (Wooster) Daily Record Entry Title: Veronica Van Dress & Jeanine Kendle Entry Credit: Veronica Van Dress Van Dress, Jeanine Kendle Judge Comment: Use of puns without being too cutsie. I know what the story is about but not so much that I don't feel the need to actually read the story, Excellent use of language and all of the headlines really caught the attention of the reader and brought a smile to the reader's face.
