Define-a-thon featured at Utah Bookfest

For Wyomingites who attended the Wyoming Book Festival last month and the Casper College Literary Conference last week and are still yearning for more Rocky Mountain region literary activity:

You are invited to the Utah Humanities Book Festival’s Define-a-thon and Utah Literary Awards Ceremony at The City Library's Nancy Tessman Auditorium, 210 East 400 South, on Wednesday, Oct. 24. Schedule includes the Utah Literary Awards from 5:30-6:45 p.m. It honors the winners of the Utah Center for the Book Awards, the Utah Arts Council's Original Writing Competition, and the May Swenson Poetry Award. The Define-a-thon will be held from 7-8 p.m. The Define-a-thon is "a fun, competitive word game of vocabulary strength hosted by Steve Kleinedler from Houghton-Mifflin Publishers."

Stay for the reception from 8-9 p.m. Hors d’oeuvres will be served.
