Poetry Night at the Firehouse Art Center
Join the Firehouse Art Center Writers at the Firehouse for our monthly last Friday poetry night from 7 to 9 p.m. Poetry is an opportunity, it gives us the chance to celebrate and commemorate all the wonderful moments in our lives from the simplest smiles to the most momentous victories.
