The Potomac Valley Audubon Society is asking local poets to submit poems that will be displayed as part of its annual Wildflower Festival, which will be held this year on Saturday, Apr. 14.

The festival will be held at the Society’s Yankauer Nature Preserve north of Shepherdstown.

For the fifth year in a row, the festival events will include a Poetry Walk that will feature poems focusing on spring themes displayed along the preserve’s Kingfisher trail.

Those who wish to submit poems for display are encouraged to do so by email by sending them to 4seasons@citlink.net. Poems may also be dropped off at the Four Seasons Bookstore in Shepherdstown or submitted by regular mail to Poetry Walk, c/o PVAS, PO Box 578, Shepherdstown, WV 25443.

The deadline for submissions is 5 p.m. Friday, Apr. 6. For more information contact PVAS at 304-676-3397 or pvasmail@aol.com.
