Do you like food and wine?

What does the phrase “Sample the Sierra” mean to you?

Write a poem, a short essay, a story, a memory – something honest conveying what those three words symbolize to you. Send it to info@LakeTahoeNews.net, along with a photo to illustrate the words or a photo of yourself. In the document, put your full name and phone number. Your number will not be published.

Lake Tahoe News will publish some of the articles. The winning entry will receive two tickets to the Aug. 21 Sample the Sierra event on Ski Run Boulevard.

Submissions must be received by Aug. 13 at 5pm.
