My Dad Is My Biggest Fan
2005 Essay Contest
We asked kids to write a story or draw a picture about how their dad is their biggest fan. Or maybe it is their uncle, step dad or grandfather. Whoever that person may be, we wanted to know how that person makes them feel special. Prizes were awarded in two age groups - 9 & under and 10 & older courtesy of the Denver Nuggets.
