Newfoundland must be on a lucky streak for winning contests (maybe we should all up our lottery purchases this week? Or maybe our high spirits lead to more votes) as another far-reaching contest has been won here. With 2,241 votes, Woodland Primary School in Grand Falls-Windsor won an online contest to have U.S. author and illustrator Jan Brett come for a visit. For those not familiar with Brett, she’s sold over 29-million books, including The Three Snow Bears, The Mitten and The Three Little Dassies.
