Thurber House Fall Writers' Cafe

The 2008 Fall Writer's Cafe has yet to be determined. We'll post information as soon as we have it. In the meantime, check out what we did for the Spring Writers' Cafe!

Another Successful Writers' Cafe!
Thurber House and the Ohio Historical Society (OHS) invited budding young writers in the 4th and 5th grades and their favorite adult to take a step back in time, unleash their creative writing juices, and write fantastic stories or poems and share them with others at the third Thurber House Writers’ Café. The event was a success and we look forward to doing another Cafe this fall. We will post the information as soon as we have it, in the meantime enjoy a few pictures from this event below.
