From staff reports
The Glen Arbor Arts Center will host the Beach Bards, Leelanau County’s hometown wordsmiths, for an evening of poetry, stories and music about flags on August 2 from 7-9 p.m. The event takes place in the forest grove behind the Arts Center. This special edition of the Beach Bards is open to poets and writers of any skill level. Bring a poem or story to share. No pre-registration is required.
For more than three decades, the Beach Bards have celebrated the written and spoken word around Leelanau County campfires. This evening of words is part of the Arts Center’s FLAGS exhibition through August 18. FLAGS explores these symbolic objects from various perceptions and angles, both abstractly and realistically.
