This month’s Writers Station is set for Saturday, Aug. 16, from 6 to 7:30 p.m. at the Train Depot, #1 Railroad Street, in Alderson. The Writers Station is an open mic for writers, so bring your original work, or a special piece written by another, that you would like to share. Poetry, prose, memoirs, fiction, and essays – all are welcome. We also invite storytellers to bring their favorite short tales. Doors will open at 5:30 p.m.
This event is free, open to all who would like to read, as well as those who would like to listen, and takes place on the 3rd Saturday of each month, except December.
We are dedicating this month’s Writers Station to our friend and fellow writer, Fawn Valentine, who passed away earlier this year. Fawn lived in Alderson and was very active in many Alderson organizations, including the Farmers’ Market, the Alderson Planning Commission, and Alderson Main Street. She was a volunteer at Carnegie Hall, a community representative on the Greenbrier Valley CVB board, and a published author. When she attended the Writers Station, she delighted everyone with her animated and humorous performances of her poems.
The Writers Station is sponsored by Alderson Main Street and is produced and hosted by Reni Fulton and Cheryl Mansley. For more information, text Reni at 304-994-1703, or contact Cheryl at 304-702-0554 or cherylmansley@gmail.com.
