SUMMARY:Word Salad
DESCRIPTION:Join ArtHaus and Decorah Public Library in celebrating the power of the written word and the magic of storytelling at Word Salad. This evening of writing will be held in the Pulpit Rock Events Room on Tuesday, August 18, starting at 7 pm. \nEvent Details: \n– Date and Time: Tuesday, August 18, 7 pm. Sign-up for performers begins at 6:45 \n– Venue: Pulpit Rock Events Room \n– Presented by: ArtHaus and Decorah Public Library \n– Theme: Smoke \n– Free and open to the public \nThis event, formerly hosted by local writer and comedian June Melby, promises a night where local voices come alive. In line with Melby’s original tagline, “locally sourced and sometimes fresh,” we aim to spotlight the diverse range of talents and perspectives that thrive in our community.  \nThe theme for August is “Smoke”. Participants will have the opportunity to take the stage and share their original works, be it poetry, short stories, or excerpts from their writings. Readers will be limited to three-minute time slots to allow as many people to participate as possible. Whether you are a seasoned writer or a first-time performer, we welcome all to express their creativity in a supportive and engaging atmosphere. \nListeners can look forward to an evening filled with compelling narratives and mesmerizing performances that reflect the rich tapestry of our local culture, but we really try not to take ourselves too seriously. It’s a chance to connect with fellow literature enthusiasts, discover new voices, and celebrate the art of writing. \nWe encourage everyone, from aspiring authors to avid readers, to join us for this night of literary exploration and community spirit. Let’s come together to support the vibrant literary scene of Decorah. \nContact Information: \nFor more information, please contact Zach Row-Heyveld, Assistant Director at Decorah Public Library at zrow-heyveld@decorahlibrary.org.\n
