For this year's Thurber Treat writing contest, in celebration of the 25th anniversary of Thurber House, local authors both young and old, were asked to tell us about an unforgettable experience or memory they have had over the past quarter century, perhaps as a camper, an academy participant, or someone who has enjoyed visiting the house and attending our events. Local celebrity and FOX 28 Good Day Columbus reporter, Johnny DiLoretto, is host for the evening. The top three contest winners of the Thurber Treat will read their entries.
