1st Women's Open Mic a Success

Travois performing at the Open Mic, Sept. 30th.

Stumpjack Coffee Company was and is a great venue!


Jean Biegan reads her original poetry.

Stumpjack Coffee Company was the place on Sunday, September 30th, for good company, music and poetry...and marvelous coffee & treats! Although we were "competing" with Brett Farve's historic accomplishment....and the Packers/Vikings Game, a number of women enjoyed the late afternoon/evening event. A large laundry basket was filled with personal care products for the Manitowoc Women's Domestic Violence Shelter. The afternoon included music by Travois, and poetry read by several different women ready and willing to share writings. Several very moving poems were read by Jean Biegun, who plans to be a regular at future Women's Open Mic Events.

Our next Open Mic will be at the Washington House, 1622 Jefferson Stree, Two Rivers, on Saturday, October 13th, from 2 to 5 p.m. The Washington House is a museum, located a block to the East off of TR Main Street. It includes an old time ice cream parlour, with the best Cedar Crest Ice Cream! If you plan to attend, don't forget to have a treat in the ice cream parlour.
