Talented writers will be sharing their work at the first Writers’ Gallery Story Hour at The Preserve in Chocorua on Friday March 2, from 7 to 9 p.m. Hear stories of travel, personal challenges, humorous incidents and thoughtful musings.
The presenting writers were encouraged by four local authors (Louise Taylor, Bonnie J Toomey, Caroline Nesbitt and Rick Davidson) in series of workshops. The event is sponsored by the Chocorua Creative Arts Center, Art Works Gallery and The Preserve at Chocorua. Everyone is invited, and refreshments will be available.
