Super Sleuths Solve K-Town Capers in WUOT Contest
One thing’s for sure about Knoxville: This town loves A Prairie Home Companion and folks love to write “who-done-its” to win some tickets!
WUOT received 24 entries for the K-Town Caper Contest. There were stories about kidnappings, murders, cemeteries…even a lesson on the plight of honeybees! In other words, a mysterious good time was had by all, especially the committee members who got to read these excellent adventures in K-Town.
Three stories stood out. And the winners are (follow the links to read the winning entries):
· First Place: The Curious Caper of the Chihuahua by Bob Leggett
· Second Place: The Fireworks Felony by Becca Habegger
· Third Place: The Caper of the Carbon Cube by Robert Allen
Congratulations! Each of these fine folks will receive two tickets to A Prairie Home Companion’s “The America the Beautiful Tour,” dinner with the cast prior to the show and the chance to meet Garrison Keillor at the Tennessee Theatre Aug. 13.
Thanks to everyone who submitted a story for the contest, and special thanks to the Historic Tennessee Theatre and AC Entertainment for partnering with WUOT on this literary lovefest for Guy Noir, pulp fiction mysteries, and A Prairie Home Companion.
