Help us celebrate the close of the 2018 Word. Fest with a community open mic for original works of poetry, prose, comedy, or song.
The doors and sign-up sheet will open at 6:00PM. There are a limited number of 5-10 minute spots available. Hosted by Word. Committee Member and Stand-Up teacher, Shelley Latham.
Join us on Sunday for brunch at Mainescape where you will have the opportunity to chat with some of the festival authors. Blue Hill Books will have festival books for sale!
Duncan Hamilton, owner of the Blue Hill Inn, will be making omelettes to order and if we are lucky, waffles. You'll need to bring your appetite for eggs as well as for words.
