GUILFORD — Write Action's 11th annual potluck picnic, open reading and “schmooze fest” got rained out on Aug. 14, so it has been recheduled to Sunday, Aug. 21, from 1-5 p.m., at Melendy Hill Farm.
This picnic, which will be held rain or shine (check www.writeaction.org for the rainy day venue) will be an opportunity to encourage one another in the writing craft, and rejoice in one another's accomplishments. It will also be a chance to enjoy good food, music, and horseshoes, croquet, and bocce.
Winners of the 2011 Poetry and Prose Contest will be publicly announced. The winning authors are invited to read at the picnic.
This year's event will feature a book exchange. Please bring a maximum of five books.
Come with writing to share (readers will have seven minutes each) and your best dish! A grill will be available for those who wish to cook.
To find the farm, go south on Route 5 100 yards past Guilford Country Store and over the cement bridge, immediate right onto Melendy Hill Road. Look for a red 18th-century farmhouse with attached sheds 6/10 of a mile up the hill from Route 5.
Bring a chair (some will be provided). Call 802-254-9586 or 254-9595 or e-mail for more information.
