Day 60 of 84 Days of 84 Ribbons: More Bozeman

I had a chance to visit the Country Bookshelf Bookstore  Sunday afternoon for a brief book event. Lovely Indie shop with a cozy feel and a loft for sharing 84 Ribbons with a few hearty souls.

I left during a drowning rainstorm. Thanks to Heather we made the trip to my car in one soggy race against the wind. Then it was on the see the last act of Opera Bozeman’s production of La Cenerentola, Rossini’s Cinderella story. Lovely voices, humor in motion and a chance to see a different version of  the story.

I was priviledged to be invited to the ‘after reception’ where I met the performers, the director and the sustaining patrons which include my hosts Jan and Dick Young. The guest performers hail from all over the US, adding their talents to the local singers.

Today I’m visiting Jan’s book club and the Bozeman Gypsy Rhythm Writers for a chance to see how their groups engage with words. It’s  exciting to know that writing groups and book clubs are alive and well around the western states.
