The Community Arts Council of Creston. Columbia Basin Alliance for Literacy and Creston Valley Public Library are joining forces to celebrate World Poetry Day on March 21 with a poetry jam at the Sasquatch.
In conjunction with World Poetry Day, Creston town council has kindly volunteered Mayor Toyota to accept the Mayor’s Poetry Challenge. The challenge has been issued by Calgary Mayor Naheed Nenshi to other mayors in communities across Canada to read a poem at the opening of a council meeting. The Mayor is expected to read a poetry selection before the meeting on March 22.
If you are interested in reading your favourite poetry (your own or others), please register by contacting Audrey Orosz at audreymountain@gmail.com or Joan Hedstrom at jhedstrom@cbal.org.
Donations for the Creston Refugee Committee are welcome at the door, which opens at 6:30 p.m., with the readers on stage at 7.
