Michael Shapiro’s Winning Boy of Summer
September 6, 2009 | Leave a Comment
Congratulations to Michael Shapiro for winning the Travel Classics West 2008 contest for Best Travel Story on Arizona. “In ‘Boy of Summer’ freelance writer Michael Shapiro received the ultimate assignment: spend a week in Arizona at a baseball fantasy camp, playing ball with and being coached by San Francisco Giants players who were once his idols.”
Who says travel writing doesn’t pay? Michael won a four-night stay at the Radisson Fort McDowell Resort & Casino, golf at We-Ko-Pa Golf Club, dinner for two at Ahnala Mesquite Room, and a horseback ride or a Jeep tour at Fort McDowell Adventures, plus a guaranteed spot at 2009 Travel Classics West 2009 (conference fee included).
The current Travel Classics contest for the best travel story about Ireland is open to attendees of the Travel Classics Europe 2009 conference; deadline for submissions is December 1, 2009.
