Prairie Words: Sharing Writings Related to Prairies
6 to 8 pm, Thursday, Ada Hayden Heritage Park - meet at the shelter.
In celebration of Iowa Prairie Heritage Week, participants are asked to bring their favorite passage of prairie literature or a piece of original writing with a prairie focus (poems/lyrics/short essays, etc.).
If the weather is ok, we'll take a short walk to read near one of the prairie areas, so dress accordingly. Bring a folding chair if you wish. The maximum length of each reading will be based on the number of readers present, but will probably be ~5 minutes. Please note that this is a family-friendly event.
Come to read, or just to enjoy others' "prairie words"! For more information, contact Deb Lewis, dlewis@iastate.edu; 515-290-6736.
