Join fifteen or more local authors as they read their best short short fiction piece (<1000 words) aloud outside the Ney! We also hope to have a couple of non-local nationally-known surprise readers. Mary Helen Specht leads the ceremonies this year, and booths from local publishers will also be present. Food trucks, family-friendly activities, and face-painting too! There will be chairs but also ample space for picnics too. Join us under the Burr Oak for the fun!
