It's time for our 2nd Annual Coates Bluff Literary Contest!

Ever wondered how the old Monte Carlo car landed on old Bayou Pierre,
right off our trail? We want you to use your imagination and write a poem or a short story about how you think the car got there. 

Last year's winners are listed to the right
