NSSA Winners To Hold Free Autograph Session On May 15


SALISBURY, NC -The National Sportscasters and Sportswriters Association will hold an autograph signing - free and open to the public - at Waterworks Visual Arts Center on Sunday, May 15 from 2:00 to 3:00pm.  Approximately 25 of NSSA's State, National and Hall of Fame Sportscasters and Sportswriters of the Year will be on hand to sign their names.  Half will sign between 2:00 and 2:45pm; the other half will sign between 2:45 and 3:30pm.

NSSA Executive Director said he was gratified by the number of winners who volunteered for the session.  "These are some of the biggest names in sportswriting and Sportscasting.  They're here to be honored and relax.  Yet they're willing to carve out some of that time for the people of Salisbury and Rowan County."

Goren said the autograph session came about because in previous years, contact between the local people and the out-of-state winners was limited.  "The people of NSSA appreciate how important the local folks are to our organization.  And we wanted to give everyone a chance to meet our honored guests.  This is a great chance for people who have listened, watched or read sports to meet the people who are responsible for those stories.  I'm hopeful that the people of Salisbury and Rowan County will respond with a great showing."< /p>

Waterworks Visual Arts Center is located at 123 East Liberty Street in downtown Salisbury.
