2019 Sharon Springs Poetry Festival -- Dinner with the Poets
Klinkhart Hall Arts Center, Inc. is proud to present the third Sharon Springs Poetry Festival, in Sharon Springs, NY October 17-19, 2019.
This year's events will begin with a fundraiser for the Festival: Dinner with the Poets at the American Hotel on Thursday October 17 at 6:00 PM for cocktails (cash bar) and 6:30 PM for dinner. Attendees will be able to meet the poets in advance of the public events, and each of the visiting poets -- Ellen Bass, Michael Dickman, and Erica Jong -- will offer a special reading from their work. Based on past events it will be a fun and entertaining evening that you don't want to miss!
The menu for the event will be a special four course meal: soup, salad, main course, and dessert. Seating will be "family style." Cash bar will be available.
Thanks to the generosity of the American Hotel, 100% of your ticket purchase will go to support the Poetry Festival.
