They say a picture’s worth a thousand words, but how many will our writers come up with? Only time will tell during our One Thousand Word Excursion! These excursions are a time for community, focusing more on our writers making friendships, connections, and memories worth a thousand words than coming up with their own.

Join us October 14 at Cool Patch Pumpkins! We’ll delight in all the wonderful, savory parts of Fall: delicious and aromatic foods, sweater weather, and the world record Dixon corn maze. Please note, this is an SWS event, so adults only. RSVP by Thursday, October 12.
