POETRY in the PARK 2024

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. 

Driving into Springdale entrance to Zion Park-1 hr from home

Snow capped peaks highlight the jagged beauty of Zion.

Lovely drive with new sights around each turn in the road

Inspiration for poetry and amazement at God's creations

About 40 poets of all ages-high school through retirement.
