Fishtrap Fireside

Fishtrap Fireside launches its 11th season of readings and stories from local, Wallowa County writers on Friday, October 6 featuring three generations of storytellers; Katherine Marrone, Kenneth Hunt, and Judy Wandschneider. This event kicks off Fishtrap’s new season of programming. You’ll get to hear what’s coming up over the year ahead including monthly Writing Workshops, Winter Fishtrap, The Big Read, and Summer Fishtrap.

Fireside is a monthly reading series designed to feature diverse voices of local writers. Each month offers a fresh look at what people of the West are thinking about and writing down. Since the program launched in 2013, more than 150 Wallowa County writers have stepped up to the podium or logged on virtually to share their work. Audiences have enjoyed a variety of storytelling including poems, fiction, history, humor, memoir, sci-fi fantasy, essay, travelogue, food stories, comedy, and much more.

Fishtrap Fireside takes place in Fishtrap’s new event space, the historic Bowlby Building on Main Street in Enterprise. Admission is free although donations are always welcome. Light snacks are provided and drinks are available for purchase. For those who can’t make it to Enterprise, anyone anywhere can take in Fireside online at Fishtrap.org and on Fishtrap’s YouTube Channel.

October’s Fishtrap Fireside is sponsored by The Bookloft.
