Fishtrap Fireside is a monthly reading series designed to feature diverse voices from Wallowa County writers.

Each month’s episode offers a fresh look at what people of the West are thinking about and writing down.

“We work hard to showcase a variety of people, perspectives, and life experiences.” said Fishtrap Program Director Mike Midlo in a press release. “Everyone has a story to tell and Fireside is a place where we welcome people to do that.”

And on Dec. 12, join Karen Auvinen for a virtual memoir-writing workshop. Writing a Memoir That Reads Like a Novel will be held from 10 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., with a half-hour break for lunch. The cost to attend is $180 for the general public, and $160 for Fishtrap members. Register online at www.fishtrap.org/workshop-auvinen-dec/.
