Youth Video Showcase at the Wex

Today we screened 20 videos created by youth from all over Ohio.  It was a very cool show and many many people showed up which was wonderful.  I think we must have had around 150+ people show up, lots of proud parents, teachers, friends.  It was really great!  Ashley Nicol Knotts won a new HD video camera, a gift from an anonymous donor which was an audience choice award determined through a paper ballot.

It felt great to be a part of this.  I really love the work of kids and teens because they are much more capable of unfiltered honesty and have lots more courage than most adults.  The work of this bunch was nothing short of terrific, every single one.  I feel very proud and satisfied today- it was such a long one.
