This is our first Words & Wine affair and I am proud to share my words with not only the members of our Palisade Writers Group, but also the world. Our writers group consist of the novice, to published authors. We meet the 2nd and 4th Fridays of each month at our local library from 3:00-5:00. I organized and created the Palisade Writers Group in April 2012. At our first meeting, I believe there were three of us. Two years later, we have a solid 10-12 regulars and 3-5 who visit periodically. One of our writers is from Finland. She lives six months overseas and six months here in Palisade. She provides the group with her vibrancy and strong critiquing character. Our writers group consists of people with diverse backgrounds. From ex- English teachers and a Former ESL Instructor at Amideast/Oman & Freelance writer to a wonderful, older woman originally from Gloucester County, PA, who shares with us her stories of growing up in the 1920's. Another of our writers resides in a Yurt, here in Mesa County Colorado. She brings us wonderful true stories of not only her love of horses but her adventures with them. Another of our members is also an avid horse and animal lover. She brings us comical, fun stories. She also has created Mary's Cranky Feeder.
| MARY'S CRANKY FEEDER is a top loading metal feed bin with spikes on auger to loosen frozen sweet feed in winter, clumpy, sticky feed in winter. Funnel down to a nose with two flat doors. Open top flap, nose fills, close that, place feed bucket under nose, open bottom and measured a gallon of grain falls out. Her company Lineshack Trading has been featured in The Denver Post, Hi Plains Journal, aired on KJCT TV, Grand Junction, Colorado and The Fence Post newspaper. | |
