Good evening. West Virginia First Lady Cathy Justice wants to know what's in your punch. In a news release, Justice announced the West Virginia Birthday Punch Contest. In honor of the state’s 160th birthday, West Virginia residents are invited to create and submit an original, non-alcoholic drink recipe. Winners will have their punch served at the West Virginia Day Celebration at the state Culture Center in Charleston on June 20. 

Here's what I published today:


Never miss a column — become a Medium member to read all of my columns and the work of thousands of other writers from around the globe. (It's only $5 per month.) Like what you read and want to support more of my work? Buy me a coffee. I’ll use it to fuel more content.
