Time to travel to ZION PARK for the annual POETRY IN THE PARK started in 2010 by LaVerna Johnson then I took charge for 8 years, no PIP because of Covid in 2021, then Reuben Wadsworth took charge for the past 3 years as I retired. Interesting to attend every year as a paid participant even when in charge and realize now at age 83 few people remember the beginnings or history of PIP, but it continues under Reuben's leadership. A fun yearly activity of creativity inspired by the beauty of Zion Park.
