rossislider Report post Posted December 6, 2018 If you are reading this and know my son Draysen, shhhh!!! He is at school and doesn't know yet, but I can't contain my excitement! Justin from NWTF -Arizona called me just a little while ago to let me know that Draysen is this year's winner of their annual JAKES essay contest! He and his chaperone (me of course!!!) will get flown to Nashville for the annual convention in February, and then to Kansas in April where he will get an all expenses paid turkey hunt. I'm so dang excited I can barely contain it! 6 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
