The stories of Christmas have been a Brainerd Dispatch favorite since 1988. Each year we get wonderful stories, some humorous and light-hearted; others are thoughtful, touching remembrances.
Tell us your story.
There will be three categories and first-, second- and third-place prizes awarded in each category. Prizes for each category are $50 for first place, $35 for second place and $20 for third place. The kids category is for ages up to 12; juniors are ages 13-20; and adults are 21 and older.
Stories should be 300 words or less. Email the story to delynn.howard@brainerddispatch.com or mail to DeLynn Howard, Brainerd Dispatch, P.O. Box 974, Brainerd, MN 56401 or drop it off at the Dispatch. All entries must include a name, address, phone number and age. Entries without this information will not be considered.
Deadline is 5 p.m. Dec. 5.
